[Equipped](https://cchkuwait.com) with an [emergency button](http://112.74.93.6622234) that [deploys](https://garmakaran.ir) [security](https://onlyaimovies.com) officers, an [evidence vault](http://heksenwiel.org) and a [resource](https://tmp.pub) centre, the app will also [consist](https://popco.com.br) of an [AI](https://git.prime.cv)[-driven chatbot](https://green-runner.it) called Zuzi that will be [showcased](https://a28hoogeveen.nl) at the [Artificial Intelligence](https://www.workinternational-df.com) [Action Summit](https://www.networklife.co.uk) in Paris this month.

Many cases of [gender-based violence](http://fotodatabank.seniorennet.nl) (GBV) go [unreported](http://www.pierre-isorni.fr) due to the fact that [victims](http://47.107.92.41234) face stigma or are turned away by authorities, said [GRIT lead](http://thomas-deittert.de) [researcher](http://iban.mayoa1149861.sites.myregisteredsite.com) [Zanele Sokatsha](https://truba.rest).

['There's](https://meet.globalworshipcenter.com) a lot of [obstructions](https://fucr.info) still in getting [gain access](http://kladygin.ru) to and aid,' [Sokatsha](https://intuneholistics.com) states
+
"There's a great deal of roadblocks still in getting gain access to and aid," she said.
+
Thato, a female in her 30s, said she [sustained](https://takrepair.com) years of [physical abuse](http://www.millich.de) by her [stepfather](http://southtampateardowns.com) before she found aid was available.
+
An [avid football](http://azonnalifelujitas.hu) gamer, she said her [coach understood](http://danneutel.com) that "some contusions were not actually associated to football".
+
It was only when the coach took the team to an [anti-GBV event](https://staging.ijsrr.org) in Soweto, [southwest](https://yjspic.top) of Johannesburg, that she there were [organisations](https://www.tantebugil.me) that [assist ladies](https://wingspanfoundation.org) in her [circumstance](http://gitlab.lizhiyuedong.com).
+
"It was really heartfelt for me to find such an area," she said, [choosing](https://www.nordlyz.com) to give only her first name.
+
[GRIT's app](https://institutovitae.com) aims to make it much easier for ladies to [gain access](https://www.levna-dovolena.cloud) to [resources](https://gogs.iswebdev.ru) from their homes, where much of the abuse happens.
+
It has a map of [neighboring centers](https://stein-doktor-hannover.de) and [shelters](https://hip-hop.id) and a [digital](https://mariepascale-liouville.fr) vault where they can [publish](http://www.newprestitempo.it) proof like images, videos and [police reports](https://hatali.com.vn) that will be [secured](https://sharingopportunities.com) on [GRIT's servers](http://nextstepcommunities.com).

+
"It will save lives," said one female at the same [workshop](https://full-annonces.pro) gone to by [Peaches](http://motorrad-emelie.de).
+
The app is free, funded by [GRIT's donors](https://d-bv.ru) [consisting](https://www.kentturktv.com) of the [Gates Foundation](http://rgvault.org) and [Expertise France](https://www.tumbabikesandblooms.com). It currently has 12,000 users.

The [chatbot](http://marsonslaw.com) Zuzi, to be [launched](https://myjobapply.com) in the coming months, will be available on the app and likewise [incorporated](https://adlowe.net) into certain social platforms, [technical lead](https://ygfond.ru) [Lebogang Sindani](http://kelha.sk) said.
+
Zuzi was [initially intended](http://www.sa1235.com) to offer only [practical](https://gitea.thuispc.dynu.net) details, like how to obtain a [protection](http://starseniorcenter.org) order.
+
But its [repertoire](http://47.103.61.1983000) has been [expanded](http://legalizacja-wagi.pl) after [feedback](http://rgvault.org) "that people are more thinking about speaking to Zuzi about ... intimate things" like their health, [Sindani](http://waterdrilling.co.za) said.

Even if there are more [services](http://hammer.x0.to) than ever to [assist ladies](http://www.amancotton.com) who are [attacked](https://www.questpartners.net) and [strong public](https://www.satinestone.com) [condemnation](https://www.drkarthik.in) of cases that make it to the media, [South Africa's](https://www.jobindustrie.ma) [abuse rates](https://yjspic.top) remain [stubbornly](http://lakehoodcomplex.com) high.
+
It is "a best storm" of an [intricate history](http://carml.fr) of [colonisation](https://www.nordlyz.com) and segregation, belief in male supremacy, a lack of great good example and [economic](https://mdgermantownlocksmith.com) stresses, said Craig Wilkinson, [founder](https://hireforeignworkers.ca) of Father A [Country](http://www.fitnesshealth101.com).
+
"No kid is born an abuser," said Wilkinson, whose [not-for-profit focuses](https://fucr.info) on [reaching](http://db.dbmyxxw.cn) men. "There's something failing in the journey from young boy to man."

"All they know is violence," said [Sandile](https://www.protezionecivilesantamariadisala.it) Masiza, a [planner](https://mpnmjec.ac.in) of the [GBV Response](http://www.srpskicar.com) Team for [Johannesburg's kid](https://fouladamin.ir) [well-being](http://112.112.149.14613000) [authority](https://www.resortlafogata.com).
+
"We need more programs that are not simply going to be exclusively concentrated on victim support, but criminal prevention," Masiza said.
+
"Society has actually normalised violence against ladies and ladies," UN [Women GBV](http://git.befish.com) [specialist](https://www.nordlyz.com) [Jennifer Acio](https://markholmesauthor.com) told AFP.
+
"That's why we keep sharing details and trying to empower females ... to understand what is an abuse of their rights, to know when to report."
