Chennai: Bumble, the women-first social networking app, has launched a new initiative ‘Stand for Safety’ as part of its mission to create a safer, kinder and more respectful internet.
In response to ever-growing safety concerns, Bumble is releasing a safety guide, in partnership with Safecity, Red Dot Foundation’s flagship public safety platform, to empower women in India to identify, prevent and combat rising digital abuse.
Through this initiative, Bumble continues to demonstrate its commitment to a zero-tolerance policy for hate, aggression or bullying of any kind.
“Through Bumble’s Stands for Safety initiative, we hope to equip and empower women in India with crucial information to understand and recognise, prevent and fight digital abuse,” commented Priti Joshi, vice-president of strategy at Bumble.
A recent nationwide study by Bumble found 83 per cent of women surveyed in India experience online harassment of some kind, and one in three women experience it weekly.
