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. How to Win To win the Anu and Naveen Jain Women’s Safety XPRIZE, teams need to come up with a solution that will, within 90 seconds: Impact • Several of the Finalist teams’ technologies were market-ready immediately following the competition • The competition and its goals were covered by a number of large media outlets (including the BBC during Round 2 Testing) which dramatically increased the exposure for both the competition and the success of the winning teams • The prize was intentionally launched in India to build the XPRIZE presence in that region of the world, and this competition was a huge success in terms of the volume of media coverage generated and increased exposure gained by hosting the final round of testing in Mumbai, India. The XPRIZE brand is now more widely recognized (recently demonstrated by a massive increase in Indian team registrations in all XPRIZE competitions) and XPRIZE succeeded in tapping into an emerging market of technology and research, new prize partners, and future sponsors Prize Activity Mar 08 2022 A WOMAN’S WORLD Aug 28 2020 A WOMAN’S WORK Aug 28 2020 A SMART NECKLACE THAT SAVES LIVES Jun 07 2018 Anu & Naveen Jain Announce Leaf Wearables as the Grand Prize Winner in the $1m Women’s Safety XPRIZE Anu Jain May 09 2018 One Step Closer to Women’s Safety May 02 2018 Women’s Safety XPRIZE Finalists Put to the Test See All Prize Activity Prize Teams Artemis Switzerland Leaf Wearables India Nimb & SafeTrek United States Saffron United States Soterra United States See All Prize Teams Advisory Board ElsaMarie D’Silva Dhairya Dand Nancy Glass Naina Sharma Tahilramani See All Board Members Judges Lauren C.
