Competition Video Safety is a fundamental human right and should not be considered a luxury for women. Anu Jain Prize Sponsor Safety is a fundamental human right and should not be considered a luxury for women. Anu Jain Prize Sponsor The Grand Challenge One in three women globally have faced sexual violence, and at least one in five women are assaulted on college campuses in the United States alone. Many nations do not have a universal emergency access number (like 9-1-1 in the United States) that victims can call to report a crime. Despite the universal need for women’s safety, basic emergency reporting and response networks do not exist in much of the world. The goal of the prize is to use technology to find a solution which would allow communities to rapidly respond to threats against any of its members, ensuring that help is always available.
