In recent years, voices against sexual assaults have grown louder worldwide. In that context, to give voice to victims and eventually prevent such acts, Moroccan authorities have set up a digital solution. 

Kolonamaak is a support platform developed by Moroccan authorities for women and girls in vulnerable situations. It allows users to "report any abuse or violence suffered by women and girls, and to direct them to the appropriate authorities."

The solution was launched on January 29, 2020, and was set up on the instructions of Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Meryem, President of the National Union of Moroccan Women (UNFM).

Its Android and iOS apps help localize women in case of emergency. They just have to dial 8350 to reach support and get directions on the competent authorities to reach out to.

The solution also helps them get coaching after a major trauma. Among other things, it offers various tips on "employment opportunities, training, business creation or income-generating projects at the local and regional levels.”

Since its launch, the Android version has already been downloaded more than a thousand times on PlayStore.
