TECHNOLOGY FOR SAFER COMMUNITIES
The Anu & Naveen Jain Women’s Safety XPRIZE was a $1 million global competition that challenged teams to leverage technology to empower communities with a transformative solution that ensures women’s safety. Armed with innovative safety nets, communities everywhere can rapidly respond to threats against any of its members, ensuring that help is always available when needed.
The winning team’s solution will autonomously and inconspicuously trigger an emergency alert while transmitting information to a network of community responders, all within 90 seconds. The winning technology will cost no more than US $40, to help ensure it is affordable.
Safety is a fundamental human right and should not be considered a luxury for women.
