Feeling unsafe in public areas after dawn has a disproportionately negative impact on womxn in contrast to male presenting people. Because of the constant feeling of unsafety womxn are often pushed to change their lifestyle and mode of transportation as a result. We must make sure that everyone can access and use public areas safely. What seems to be obvious for one part of the society is a life threatening reality for another. According to UN Women, apps & online helplines can often be life-saving for marginalised people.

As a response we created Dusk
