Our app is a platform for social change targeting young women aged10-19 that aims to close the bias gap and make our society a better, more equitable place. This app will assist in creating a culture of change amongst young teenage women by providing them with important information about the ways gender bias impacts them, and their life choices, as they make critical educational, health, career, and relationship and workplace decisions. Our app uses a variety of platforms such as chats, helplines, gamification, information/tips, and a daily feed, to inform our users about gender bias, how to recognize it and how to stand up when facing it. Our app also creates a community where these young women can feel supported and empowered through reading other women’s stories, asking questions and getting answers from other young women who are experiencing, or have experienced, similar situations.
