Despite of the raising awareness on gender equality, women, together with their children, still suffer the potential threat of domestic violence. This has always been an alarming issue faced by our society. Among the states of U.S, Georgia started to make a difference as a group of people decided to help other women who became and are currently victims of domestic violence. Georgia being on the 12th rank among the states with the highest rate of domestic violence, a pathway out of the darkness presented itself through “The Purple PocketBook”, the first domestic violence app in the state of Georgia.
This app will help women to find local shelters, legal information and as well as simple questionnaire to determine if they’re in a potential domestic violence situation. The app aims not only to help others who are suffering but most importantly, to prevent our women to become victims. The Purple PocketBook app wants to create a safe and secured portal in which information and supportive resources are available within a discreet app and accessible to many.
The app for iPhone has been completed and released last May 2014 and now, the developers want to extend the app’s helping hand through adding languages and further develop the app for android and Windows platform. They started a breakthrough and now is our chance to do our part to help in putting a stop to domestic violence. A simple donation for the developers to continue their noble work will go a long way in helping and preventing women to fall victim to this proliferate crime. If this app will be able to reach more people, more women will be able to protect themselves and their loved ones from this unacceptable situation which they don’t deserve. The Purple PocketBook aims to become a vessel to free suffering women from the chains of domestic violence.
