- The southern French city of Marsellie had rolled out a smartphone app that allows female beachgoers to report people harassing them, pestering them etc...
- The app gives women 3 options to report harassement / unwanted attention:
I’m being bothered
I’m being harassed
I’m in danger
- The app was created by charities and was tested in Marseille's Prado beach and at a music festival. It's success has led to it now being offered at 4 other French beaches.
- A YouGov poll found that 39% of women expereinced harassement at the beach
- When a woman reports a guy harassing her or giving unwanted attention 2 mediators are dispatched. In case of a more serious nature police will deal with the issue.
