Evaluating Safety Buttons on Mobile Devices: Preview: by Rohini Lakshané and Chinmayi S.K. — published Mar 27, 2017 — last modified Mar 18, 2023 04:40 AM — filed under: Safety Buttons, Gender, Research, Safety, Safety Apps, Researchers at Work
Much technological innovation for women is aimed at addressing violence against women. One such ubiquitous intervention is mobile device-based safety applications, also known as emergency applications. Several police departments in India, public transport services, and commercial services such as taxi-hailing apps deploy a mobile device-based “panic button” for the safety of citizens or customers, especially women. However, the proliferation of safety apps through both public and private players raises several concerns, which will be studied through this study by Rohini Lakshané of the CIS and Chinmayi S.K. of The Bachchao Project. Research assistance for this report was provided by CIS intern Harish R.S.K. Visualisations by Saumyaa Naidu.
