NOYO app store info
Have you ever been the victim of street harassment? Do you want to put an end to this harassment and create safer streets for everyone?
NOYO (Not On Your Own) is the empowering app that supports the anonymous, real-time reporting of incidents. These reports are mapped and visible to other users of the app, helping others to stay safe.
Created in Barking and Dagenham, we want to show that street harassment is not acceptable here.
NOYO will also be used to understand the scale of the problem locally, providing the evidence needed to take steps to tackle street harassment.
Take action against street harassment by reporting incidents and sharing your experiences to help other women feel safe. Let others know that they are not on their own.

Key Features
• Real-time reporting
Incidents will appear on the map instantly. Incidents will initially appear as a red pin, fading to blue after 24 hours. Each report will detail the nature of the incident, location, date and time.

• SOS emergency contact
Users can set up an emergency contact number and use the app to call their contact if they feel unsafe.

• Help others feel safe
All users of the app will be able to see recent reports. They will be able to search their route for incidents. The app also allows users to create an alert for a specific location (e.g. work place, the local station) and receive notifications of any reports near that location.

• Help build safer streets for everyone
By reporting the incidents of street harassment, you are helping to build a picture of the extent and scale of the issue locally, highlighting areas, times of day or types of harassment which are particularly prevalent. This information will be vital evidence in taking steps to end street harassment.

Please note this app does not pass on any information to the police. In an emergency, always call the police.
If you have been the victim of or witnessed a crime, please report this to the police.
