CAWTAR, as the gender focal point for the Arab region, has adopted the flagship programme: Combating Gender-Based Violence

In this year 2022, for the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, CAWTAR announces its campaign entitled "Making the invisible visible" which will aim to enable visually impaired and blind, deaf and mute women to benefit from a gender-based violence prevention mechanism.

A free mobile prevention application named "SafeNess" was launched two years ago to protect women from violence and harassment in public places.

This application is available on Playstore or Applestore, it covers 3 countries : Tunisia, Jordan and Morocco. It allows you to choose a list of trusted people and warn them in case of danger by a GPS system.

CAWTAR is constantly improving the functionalities of this application and developing it so that it is accessible to visually impaired and blind, and deaf people.

This campaign will be carried out in close collaboration with governmental, civil society and private sector partners as well as other UN agencies, in order to optimise efforts and achieve a considerable degree of efficiency.
