What is it about?
The following paper presents a design proposal of a mobile application aimed to support women in risk situations in the City of Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca, Mexico. Our proposal, Assistance System for Women (or SAM), is a design for women in a situation of risk. Based on an user-centered design approach, our proposal features functionalities like Help buttons, Simulate Telephone Calls and Follow-up, as well as Location in real time. Gender violence and violence against women is a factor of enormous concern in Mexican society nowadays. By creating this interface prototype, we intend to offer our users security to be able to carry out their daily activities without fear. We are trying to be part of positive social development, an essential element to achieve the maintenance of peace and security.
