Equality Can’t Wait - Technology for Public Safety, Crowdsourced Help, Equal Access (SaveMeNow)
#Equality Can’t Wait for Women in Technology and Public Safety!
We are applying to the Challenge with Worldie, SaveMeNow, Safe Haven Community, Code Your Dreams, The Girls Code, and Peace Education and Practice Network.
We will create technology for public safety, crowdsourced help, and equal access projects to empower women and girls for generations.
We see massive disparities in technology and public safety for women, even for calling 911. Domestic violence is the most experienced issue for 911.
Crowdsourced help and housing do not yet exist in the United States for domestic abuse victims.
Cyberabuse online harms female public figures, lives, safety, and careers. We propose the solutions to save lives.
SaveMeNow created by firefighters provides real-time data, geolocation, and victim-centering to emergency centers. (http://SaveMeNowApp.es)
Safe Haven Community provides crowdsourcing help with people donating rooms directly for domestic abuse victims. With millions of victims, isolation, and not enough infrastructure, crowdsourcing is the solution. (http://SafeHavenCommunity.org)
Code Your Dreams and The Girls Code provides coding classes for socioeconomically diverse disadvantaged girls.
Worldie is the collaborator applying as Social Media for Good. We will create anti-cyberabuse coding, helpful systems, and distribution. We will improve lives.

ExcitingCHESS!Nonprofit Social Media does not compete with:
- Journalism (Hard News)
- emergency services
- entertainment industry
- Other nonprofits
- Most businesses *unless unethical or unsafe*
- humanitarian aid
- egalitarian governments
- internet governance
- cybersecurity
I hope we are successful at Worldie.com so that we get higher quality and safety!
We move the “White Knights” ;)

I still think you are a part of history. We just need Internet Governance from Washington DC, United Nations, Committees, overseeing and participating nonprofits, hard news. Please let others be in charge! I’m not a dictator. Make social media and the internet safer! - Thank you American University and Internet Governance Lab!! We love public figures. Social media and data for good.
- Christina, and believe me, we all break up our teams when it comes to causes. In this case, I liked Bill Gates and Amber Heard… I try♀️. Public figures (or anyone) should not be harassed online and it distorts reality, interferes with business, nonprofits, and progress. There’s another side to every story…
Change History!! ✈️✈️
A new era of social media: positivity, safety, and Tech4Good…

By Ananya Gurumurthy
This summer, I had the honor of being selected as a US Youth Ambassador for the international TechGirls Exchange Program. The TechGirls program is sponsored by the US Department of State and connects young women from countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA nations) with young women from the US. The program is a ten day immersion program in computer science with coding sessions taught by professors from the Virginia Tech Computer Science Department. On the third day of class, I met a remarkable teaching assistant, Ms. Kay, a PhD student in computer science. Ms. Kay shared her inspiring journey from western Kenya to the United States.
Ms. Kay hails from a small village in Kenya, where young women are not allowed to pursue higher education. The moment Ms. Kay asked her parents about her aspirations to pursue a college degree in computer science after high school, she was told that the place for a young woman was not in college, but in a home with a husband and children. Thankfully, Ms. Kay did not allow her journey to be deterred by archaic values that had limited so many women before her; she began looking for universities abroad. She tirelessly searched for scholarship opportunities and other ways in which she could make college a reality for herself. After years of hard work and persistence, Ms. Kay arrived at Virginia Tech, now a PhD student and researcher. She has gained much recognition for her research and inspiring personal story.
I was also in an environment in which many young women hailed from countries in MENA nations, eager to overcome obstacles often built by their societies. These girls worked far past the designated “class time” and came up with creative games and projects. More importantly, all of them went back to their respective countries motivated to teach other young women in their nations how to code and become digitally literate. Some even earned scholarships to their countries’ top universities to study computer science and software engineering as a result of their tireless efforts.
The stories of the MENA TechGirls and Ms. Kay are stories of perseverance and overcoming challenging odds. Furthermore, these stories are proof of the empowering effect of women immersing themselves in technology.
Technology represents a disruptive force in our economy and more women must begin participating in its tremendous growth trajectory. In pursuing digital literacy skills, women across the world can help empower themselves, their children, and others. The current salary for the average programmer is nearly $80,000 making it a great avenue for financial empowerment, independence, and self-sufficiency. Increasingly, more companies are looking to diversify their workforce by including more women. Tech companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Dropbox, WhatsApp, etc want to enhance gender equity in the workplace and are enabling many new learning tools and platforms. For this reason, learning to code and develop has become increasingly available and affordable. With free online sources such as Coursera, edX, Udemy, and MIT Open Courseware, learning the skills necessary to program is easier. Digital literacy can be a great vehicle to support women and their families move towards greater stability and better opportunities.
Ananya Gurumurthy, 15, is an aspiring activist from Scarsdale, NY. She has recently gotten involved with Sakhi, and hopes to continue contributing in the future! Recently, she began the local Digital Literacy Initiative in her local district with her State Senator to help ensure the inclusion and participation of underserved girls in computer science and engineering fields. Her interest in the inclusion of women in computer science was further extended when she was selected as a US Youth Ambassador for the US TechGirls Exchange Program and spent nearly two weeks with young women from the Middle East and North Africa learning about empowering women in the aforementioned communities. She hopes to continue her journey in working with digital literacy to propel equity and empowerment for women around the country!

Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-born film actress and inventor, recognized for both her on-screen talent as well as her pioneering contributions to radio communication technology.
She acted in over 30 movies in Europe and America, spanning the 1930s-50s, during which she was internationally praised for her beauty. Her iconic look is said to have influenced the original comic depictions of Disney’s Snow White as well as Batman’s Catwoman.
During World War II, Lamarr and co-inventor George Anthiel developed a “frequency hopping spread spectrum” technology that manipulated radio frequencies at irregular intervals between transmission and reception, for which they received a patent in 1942. This invention formed a code that would protect classified messages from being intercepted by enemy intelligence, which was later implemented in Naval ships in the 1960s.
Lamarr and Antheil received several awards for their invention, including the Invention Convention’s BULBIE Gnass Spirit of Achievement Award, known as the “Oscars of Inventing,” for which she was the first woman recipient. In 2014, she was posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for her pioneering work.
You can learn more about this amazing woman in the PBS documentary “Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr story.”

- Maybe I’m closer to that goal withWorldie?
I will have to start that Help Network of 4 years ago… honestly… understanding social media as an evolution has helped that plan too since then (and all-in-one) :)
Just have to wait a bit…

Weekend stolen. That’s all I can say about my last two days. When I refer to my job being busy people who don’t know me might assume things got busy working a normal job.. but I have a career in IT and I am salaried. When it is month end and the accounting folks need some things looked at or emergency code changes so month end processing can happen successfully and be verified.. I am often called. I’m posting pictures of my recent red dress shoot.. because this weekend I wore a red cape, sacrificing my free time once again so that 25 people were not on conference calls trying to sort out stuff that could already be sorted. Happy Monday to you all. I need a vacation.
