In India, a phone app to fight rape

[IndoCarib]

Women in India's capital, New Delhi, will soon be able to fight off potential attackers with a push of a phone button that will alert not only friends, family and police but also sound an alarm on their social networking websites.

One in every four rapes in India occurs in New Delhi, police say, with reports of women being bundled into moving cars and gang-raped before being dumped on roadsides, giving the city an unsavory reputation as the "rape capital" of the nation. There is one rape every 18 hours, according to police.

The phone app "Fight Back" will be launched in November by a local charity and will function as an SOS alert device -- sending out a text message with a GPS location to up to five people, including police, and as a post on Facebook and Twitter.

never mind the media sensorship, but social networking sites are live interaction, once the alert goes on twitter as tweet and post on Facebook, ppl online will get an instant notification of the live crime happening with its location and other info, if the netizen is near to the location he can rescue the victim or join the culprit (kuch bhi ho sakta hai)
