Will this SOS SMS app help Delhi women fight sex assault?
December 21, 2011 12:48
A smartphone app launched today in Delhi aims to fight a rise in sexual assault cases by enabling women to immediately alert friends or family if they feel at risk.
The Fight Back app created by Indian non-profit organisation Whypoll will -- at the press of a single key -- send an SOS via text message, email and Facebook.
Once the SOS is activated, recipients will be able to track the sender's location via GPS and come to her aid.
