Ukraine has launched a mobile application to call the police in case of domestic violence against women. Users of the application can call the police with the SOS button without having to call 102. The application will automatically locate the victim using geolocation.

The app is designed to be invisible to the offender, allowing the victim to install and use the app on her smartphone without fear. Its external interface is disguised as a regular application, and the button to call the police and other information can only be found in a hidden interface, which only the owner of the smartphone has access to.

The mobile application was created in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund and with the financial support of the UK government. You can download it from both Google Play and the App Store. The name of the application has not been disclosed for security purposes.

For more information about the name and installation, please call the hotline 116-123.
