USA - Circle of 6 - Free Application to Prevent Gender Violence

 

The Circle of 6 app for iPhone and Android makes it quick and easy to reach the 6 friends you choose. 

 

        WHY THIS APP?

 

MORE THAN 1 IN 4 COLLEGE WOMEN ARE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED. YES, IT'S TRUE. 1 IN 4.

Men can be victims of sexual abuse, too.

No matter how you identify on the sexuality and gender spectrum, whether you're in a relationship, or hooking up for the first time, everyone has the right to say no, and the right to be treated with respect.

       The The Circle of 6 App is for everyone.

C     Contact: circleof6app@gmail.com

With Circle of 6, you can connect with your friends to stay close, stay safe and prevent violence before it happens.

The Circle of 6 app for iPhone and Android makes it quick and easy to reach the 6 friends you choose.

Need help getting home? Need an interruption? Two touches lets your circle know where you are and how they can help.

Icons represent actions; so that no one can tell what you’re up to.

Designed for college students, it’s fast, easy-to-use and private.

It’s the mobile way to look out for your friends, on campus or when you’re out for the night.

How it works


CAR ICON: COME GET ME. 

An SMS message will be ready to send that reads: “Come and get me. I need help getting home safely.” It will send a map using GPS to show your circle exactly where you are.

PHONE ICON: CALL ME.

An SMS message will be ready to send that reads: “Call and pretend you need me. I need an interruption.”

CHAT ICON: I NEED SOME ADVICE. 

An SMS message will be ready to send that reads: “I’m looking up information about healthy relationships and respect. Just letting you know.” There will be links to loveisrespect.org and whereisyourline.org. This keeps your circle informed of what’s on your mind, but doesn’t ask for immediate action.

EXCLAMATION POINT: 

Pre-programmed national hotlines and a local number the user can customize.
