Podcast app Arré Voices collaborates with Akshara Centre to focus on women’s safety. Together they will contribute efforts in support of women's safety. Arré Voice provides a podcast app that provides women a platform to speak up about their problems such as domestic violence, which has been on the rise recently and were most visible during the pandemic period and post-pandemic period. Here they can talk about every kind of abuse they go through like emotional, physical, or even financial. It focuses more on empowering women in every field they go to.
This tech-enabled intervention has been designed in a way that provides facilities to access helplines and support groups which will ensure that awareness of women's safety is raised.
The Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Arré Voice, Niyati Merchant, stated, "As a women’s first audio social platform, we wish to provide women who are a part of the growing Arré Voice community access to content and tools designed at creating a secure social space. The tech-driven interventions are an ongoing project for us which is based on real-time community feedback. The training facilities provided by the Akshara Centre are actively based onto build up a better society where women can live with dignity and without violence.”
Akshara Centre co-founder Nandita Shah said, "We are proud to be associated with Arré Voice. Here, we are looking forward to creating a ‘person’ platform for young women to not only share issues and problems but to also share strategies to overcome challenges as women. She concluded by stating that this partnership with Arré Voice is an extension of the same online i.e., giving a voice, building relationships, and creating networks. We are confident about the online platform which will expand the conversation massively."
