As stated by the “European Campaign to Raise Awareness of Violence against Women”, domestic violence exists in all European countries and across all social classes. Women predominantly became victims from their own partners. In the EU, one woman in five has at least once in her life been the victim of violence by her male partner. 25% of all violent crimes reported involve a man assaulting his wife or partner. Every year, thousands of women and children leave their homes because they are victims of abuse.
These sad figures can not be coped with a technical device but it can help the victim to call for help when he or she is threatened again by an aggressor. A mobile alarm device may help to alert relatives or the police fast, easily and with reliable positioning.
