Years volunteering at a community centre for people in crisis taught me that all women fear the streets at night. Safety is an issue affecting all women from all walks of life.
My career in childcare highlighted the importance of educating young girls and boys about issues like consent, gender bias and the importance of preventative actions. However, it was the birth of my daughter two years ago that was my call to action. I didn’t want her growing up in this ‘normal’.
Following a series of family discussions, we founded WalkSafe.
We are incredibly proud of the vibrant community that we are building across our users, partners, ambassadors and advisors. We are grateful for the advice, feedback and support that we have received since we launched WalkSafe in 2019 it has led so some fantastic coverage in national press which in turn is helping to fight the issue of VAWG. We fundamentally believe that personal safety is a basic human right that everyone should have access to which is why we ensure that our app will always remain free to everyone.
