Every woman we know has a version of the same routine. Share your live location with a friend before the date. "Text me when you're home." Keys between the fingers on the walk from the bus stop. A fake phone call, acted out to an empty line, hoping it's convincing.
The routine exists because the tools don't. Phones have had an SOS button for years — and it helps, once a situation is already an emergency. But almost everything that actually happens lives in the long, uncomfortable space before that: the date that won't end, the stranger matching your pace, the taxi taking a route you don't recognize. You're not ready to call the police. You just don't want to be — or look — alone.
The insight SafeHer is built on
Threatening situations are social situations. The person making you uncomfortable is making a calculation, and the single biggest variable in it is whether anyone else is involved. The moment they believe someone knows where you are — someone watching, expecting you, already on the way — the calculation changes.
So that's what SafeHer creates: believable social presence, on demand.
- A phone call from a companion who talks back, in a real voice, about normal things — on speaker, for everyone around you to hear.
- A video call with a face on screen.
- A chat thread that looks exactly like a brother who knows where you are.
And underneath that layer, the essentials done properly: a one-tap Stealth Alarm that alerts your trusted contacts with a live tracking link while evidence records silently, Walk With Me route tracking that escalates automatically if you never arrive, a Report Maker that keeps your evidence organized and ready, and a Safety Map built from what women around you actually know about your city.
Why this matters in Europe
The EU's first union-wide survey on gender-based violence (Eurostat, FRA and EIGE, 2024) found that around one in three women in the EU has experienced physical or sexual violence in adulthood — and that most women who experience it tell a friend or family member rather than any authority. That second number is the one we build for: women's first instinct is to loop in someone they trust. SafeHer makes that instinct work better — instantly, automatically, and believably.
We're building SafeHer in Copenhagen, Europe-first and GDPR-native. The sensitive parts of your life — your location, your recordings, your story — stay yours. That isn't a feature; it's the foundation everything else stands on.
Where we are today
The SafeHer mobile app for iOS and Android is in private beta, and the web experience is live — you can create a free account today, set up your trusted contacts, and be ready on day one of the app launch.
If you want early access to the beta, reach out through the contact form. And if you've ever sent the "text me when you're home" message — or been the friend waiting for it — SafeHer is being built for you.
We make the world safeHer. One woman, one walk, one safe arrival at a time.
