Safer Walk is a free mobile app dedicated to helping women connect with other local women safely, at any
moment, to share: quick walks through suspicious parking lots, nights from school or work Walk home,
share a cab or public transportation, or just get together for a jog, gym.
While there are endless GPS tracking and check-in apps available, these are responsive and often late
in response. A safe walk is a proactive and preventive approach that discourages collisions and reduces
attacks by empowering women with mobile technology that helps organize spontaneous pairs or groups when

immediately start scanning your local area for current posted walks by other women within your 1-2 km
