Context
Imagine when a woman/girl suffered violence, no matter what kind of violence is that, what will she do? How would she feel? we want to create an application on which we will provide professional advises for women and girls who have suffered violence on the aspect of legislation, finance, administration and psychological assistance from both professionals and communities. This app mainly focuses on the post-trauma guidance from a professional perspective. When the woman experience violent assault or attack, what she should do at once is to call the police. But what is the next? How she should do then? To call her families or friends? To go to the hospital alone? What things should she bring and keep? These are some of the most important issues women need to know. Our app aims to deal with these dilemmas that women would face when they feel insecure about their situations and circumstances.
Target
Our product aims to help the women who suffered from all kinds of violent attack to find their own community to get help and assistance both psychologically and financially. Along this way, the victims can realize that they are not alone when confronting such violence and also realize that there are many other women and girls who have suffered the same terrible experience. During which time their mental pressure will be gradually relieved. On the other hand, as for women and girls who haven't suffered from violence, we give them a way to concern about the potential danger and protect them from various violence.
Service
We help all women and girls suffered from various violence.
We offer help in four main aspects.
Legal Service
StandbyHER provides legal services for women under the cases of different violences. No matter what kind of violence you are facing, we are capable of offering you professional legal guidance to safeguard your rights.
Financial Support
Most women suffered from violence are not financially independent, so we cooperate with various organizations to provide women with necessary financial assistance such as money for lawsuit to help them start new lives.
Housing & Shelter
Considering that many women have their children and have no place to live once leaving their spouses, we would like to help them find appropriate and safe houses, or temporary shelters to live so that they can make a fresh start.
Mental Therapy
Many women suffered from violent attack would undergo mental problems such as depression, PTSD, etc. We cooperate with experienced psychologists to help women avoid mental breakdown with all our might.

similarity with our project is the function of educating. This is
because that users are easily exposed the online protection environment

But the most significant difference is that our project provides a
community for users to make further interaction.

Technology
We are using CSS, html to build up our web page and illustrate them through Figma, which could be used as an application on our phones.
Process
According to our assigned theme "Fight violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres" We realised some mindmaps. The purposes of the mindmaps was to explore much deeper the subject. we had to Get an overview of the subject, develop a critical thinking on him, broaden the vision of a problem involved in the subject. Gather materials, links, website, books to feed the project. Make connections between all of that.
You will see our individual mindmaps bellow
After our first mockup in order to improve in a very good way, we are made some tests. Four people tested our project, give their remarks, the things they like and things they don't like.
In order to a very nice landing page We first made a wireframe of our "landing page" before proceeding with the coding.
