As a woman, it is a fact of life that you are constantly aware of the potential risks that come with walking alone, especially at night. Women face heightened safety concerns during nocturnal hours ranging from street harassment to more serious threats and assault. Ensuring women’s safety during these moments is not a matter of caution but a necessity for peace of mind and well-being.
Walksafe is not another app, it is a comprehensive safety solution designed specifically for women’s needs in mind. Many intuitive features make this app easy to use such as real-time updates, close friends lists and an “SOS” button to easily alert contacts of your location if something happens. Walksafe’s mission is simple: provide women with the tools they need to reclaim their sense of security and autonomy.
It’s important to understand the specific risks that women face when walking alone at night. Street harassment, verbal abuse, and physical assault are unfortunately all too common experiences for many women. It is crucial to recognise and acknowledge these safety concerns to better prepare ourselves to navigate these conversations and create proactive solutions to help women’s safety and reduce VAWG incidents.
Precautionary measures are important and essential for women whilst walking at night or in dimly lit areas. While it is unfair that women should have to think about their safety in that way, taking proactive steps can significantly reduce the likelihood of encountering dangerous situations. Walksafe provides that extra layer of preparedness to your personal safety plan and provides resources that can help in a potentially sticky situation. You can pre-set your commute home with an estimated time of arrival so that if you don’t make it in time, your close friends are alerted to this. Our safety map has up-to-date crime reporting in the area that can help you plan your journey and avoid potentially dangerous areas.
While Walksafe has these incredible tech features, it is important to remember to trust your instincts and intuition as well. If something feels off to you, don’t hesitate to alter your course, seek assistance or retreat to a safe place. Your intuition is a powerful tool for self-preservation and should always be listened to! Adding Walksafe to your own personal safety plans can help add that extra layer of protection you want however you want it.
