Circle of 6 is an app developed to stop violence against women before it starts. Originally designed for college students, it allows you to alert six of your friends to pick you up (your GPS location is also sent with this alarm call), or have them call you ASAP or talk with a national hotline. Haven’t we all been in situations where a well timed telephone interruption has saved the day? Spread the word, please.

This app is available for the iPhone and Droid.

Here is the TED video to the Circle of Six video (6 minutes) that tells the story and how to participate
