Nari 71
A women’s safety app I built with my team during Bongo Academy’s app development course. In Class 9 it won a national award, and I was the youngest winner.
The idea
Women in Bangladesh face harassment and violence in schools, colleges, markets, on public transport and at work. A report published by UNB found that 84% of women in Bangladesh experience sexual harassment. Many of them never speak about it, because of social pressure and fear of judgment, and so they never get justice.
Nari 71 was our answer: a mobile app to help women stay safe, speak up and get support, without giving up their privacy.
What we built
- Emergency SOS button. One tap shares the user’s location with the nearest police station, so help can reach her as fast as possible.
- Anonymous reporting. Women can report an incident without revealing who they are.
- Mental health support for women dealing with what happened to them.
- A community where users can connect, share their experiences and stand together against injustice.
- One account for everything. We kept the app simple: sign up once and every feature is there.
Privacy came first. Users’ personal information had to stay protected, or nobody would trust the app enough to use it.
The result
“Nari 71 won a national award, and I was the youngest winner. It was the first time I saw that an idea of mine could become something real.”
The line we built it around still holds: every woman deserves to live without fear, and no woman should feel alone when she faces injustice.
