Inspiration

The sole purpose of this application is to support the women of our society.During these tough and unknowing times, we decided that for us, as a team the most important aspect is the mental and physical well being of those around us. In particular, we have chosen to look at this shocking statistic and work towards lowering it as part of our achievements from the app Safe Haven. Domestic Abuse figures have gone up 25% since the lockdown has started across the world, and more people now than ever before are facing aggressors in the household. With the outside world not being safe anymore, we aim to make the home a safe environment for as many as we can by educating, aiding and empowering those who are victims to abuse. Our goal is to help women and girls suffering from mental health issues and domestic violence by providing them with best of our services.

What it does

Our goal is to help women and girls suffering from mental health issues and domestic violence by providing them with best of our services. It has an option of SOS signals for help from pre-set contacts. It silently contacts your networks and has options for both domestic violence and mental health crises. A chat bot is created named Haven who asks questions to determine what kind of help is needed and understands the concerns of the user. It answers any concerns or questions the user has. We created this app to help women in need.

How I built it

This app was basically built on Android Studio with Java. The chatbot was built with Dialogflow and the designs were created on Adobe XD.

Challenges I ran into

This was our first Hackathon. We have used many new technologies and learnt to use it. We took help from our MLH- Hack Girl Summer mentors who were kind and patient with us. Thanks to Gagandeep Reehal sir who helped us in the integration of our chatbot.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This was our first Hackathon so we were all very excited and we are glad that we were able to implement our idea in such a short span of time.

What I learned

We got to learn many new technologies and most importantly team work as we all were from different parts of the world. This platform made us all together and we got to work better even tho there were timezone differences.

What's next for SafeHaven
