A mobile app is being developed to enable people in domestic violence situations to call for help.
The app will integrate with the National 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline and will provide a discreet, secure, and accessible platform to respond to and support those who need help and prevent gender-based violence.
Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, made the disclosure while making her contribution to the 2026/27 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives yesterday.
“The app will enable us to offer Next Level services as part of our Continuum of Care for Survivors of Gender-Based Violence. The app is coming but the hotline is open,” she said.
She encouraged anyone who needs assistance to call 876-553-0372.
“We will help you,” Minister Grange said.
