Our Impact
About Us
Violence against women in Mexico has been a serious problem since long ago. Nonetheless, ever since the pandemic (and quarantine) started, the number of domestic violence tripled. Nowadays, 11 women are murdered in Mexico each day, this does not only represent a number, but the lives of human beings.
As a team, we felt the need to contribute with our skills and the technologies that we have access to. #TwitterForWomen is a project that consists on a bot which purpose is to help women that suffer of domestic violence. Our solution consist on a bot that can be reached via DM in Twitter by the woman or by someone else (e.g a neighbour or friend). It will ask for the location of the location and with it, our bot will reply with the name, phone number and email of a civil association based in the same state which has as purpose helping women that suffer this type of violence.
As a team, we also consider that this project has the scalability to be implemented in more countries, since Mexico is not the only country in which women suffer from violence and they all deserve a dignified life.
