Circle of 6 – the app that prevents violence before it happens

You and your friends can take the pledge and download the free Circle of 6 free app, “I won’t let violence happen in my circle.”

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.

This app is available for the iPhone and Droid.
