Antonia App
The App Antonia was developed by the Antonia Foundation to respond to gender violence. It was called this way in commemoration of Antonia Garros, a 23 year old victim of gender violence. Faced with a violent situation, the app works as a panic button, sending a notification to a network of contacts previously chosen, recording the situation that is happening as a way to record the eventual aggressions, showing the location of the victim and allowing to connect with the nearest police station. Between 2018 and 2019, the app was downloaded more than 14,000 times.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
