Onda Cero interview with Cristian Gutiérrez

Cristian Gutiérrez: "There was no tool to contact 016 directly or act quickly."

We spoke on Más de uno with Cristian Gutiérrez, the creator of the mobile app that can launch a geolocated distress request without the abuser noticing. He won the first Technology Ideas for Gender Equality competition at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena. Cristian explains that the goal of the app is to make it possible to act quickly in cases of gender violence, and says they are already looking for funding to develop it.

📱 The app Puertas Violetas allows anyone suffering a gender violence incident to send a predefined help message with the press of a button.

It was created by Cristian Gutiérrez López, a Telecommunications Systems student. He is 22 years old. https://x.com/MasDeUno/status/1067334155803873281
