An app and a movement to combat gender-based violence against women with disabilities

CIDIP, a Mexican NGO, launched a programme on gender and disability in 2019 and then started the App Morada (Purple App) project in 2020. The app aims to prevent gender-based violence, particularly against women with disabilities, using a video call-hotline supported by Mexican Sign Language and that instantly connects to emergency services.
