3. What is the problem?
68% of women in Zimbabwe have experienced Gender Based Violence. Most of
the abused women are afraid to report cases of Gender Based Violence because
they worry about the negative outcome of reporting such as the stigma
associated with abuse. The process of reporting abuse of any kind is very long
and tiresome, it normally drags out very long and other victims end up giving up.
Sometimes women do not know that they are being abused because some
abusive behaviour is condoned by society and so it is seen as normal. There is
not much information about Gender Based Violence available to the public and
so most women are abused without even knowing it.

4. Our Solution
Our solution is to create an application called De-Vio which will help
women who are being abused to report the abuse in an easier way than
the traditional ways which are usually slow and not effective. We will also
have an emergency button to help those who need immediate help.
De-Vio will also give women more information on Gender Based
Violence so that they can identify when they are being abused.

5. De-Vio is the first application that helps
people to report abuse immediately and
easier than the traditional methods of
reporting such as going to the police
station.
De-Vio will work with Women’s
Organisations and give them help that
goes beyond reporting. Therefore we
will be able to get them counselling
and rehabilitation.
Our advantages

6. The Market
● In 2013 an average of 650 rape cases were reported over a ten month period in Harare alone,
there are even more cases which go unreported. There is need for an easier way for people to
report abuse either for themselves or on behalf of others. De-Vio is a way for abuse to be
reported immediately and by using a shorter process.
