😓 We discovered that a lot of our peers were hesitant to go on community based social media apps due to prevalent NSFW content and/or due to facing harrasement and misogynistic atmosphere. 📝 We also conducted a survey to get community response for some sought after features listed below. |
|
- The Form was circulated carefully to ensure that the intended demographic received it.
- Best efforts to ensure that only respondents who identify as female are polled.
➡️ Along with building a progressive community, we realised that we could also provide a platform to increase awarness about opportunities and scolarships. We came to this conclusion after observing that a lot of our peers were either unaware or confused by things like Google STEP Intern/Generation Scholar, TalentSprint WE, International Research Opportuntiies etc.
➡️ After a classmate faced a risky situation online due to limited knowledge about digtal security, we also decided to implement a Safety Section where our users can learn about best methods to be digitally secure and also access SoS features when needed.
