Code Innovation is crowdfunding to build the a Rape Crisis Counseling app to help survivors of sexual violence and their advocates get the survivor the emergency medical care they need to prevent pregnancy, HIV and sexually-transmitted infections.

The resource will digitize the training that rape crisis counselors receive to become volunteer emergency room advocates for sexual violence survivors. 

A coalition of U.S. rape crisis centers, gender-based violence experts and women's rights defenders and non-profits are partnering with Code to adapt and create the content so that it's relevant and applicable for the international community. 

A network of experts and non-profits eager to use the free, Creative Commons resource in their own communities are ready to translate the content into Arabic, Farsi, French and Spanish, and one of the crowdfunding campaign's perks is to allow supporters to ask for their own language translation.
