Smashboard Blockchain App Will Help Sexual Abuse Victims In India

Smashboard is a blockchain-based app that plans to help the sexual abuse victims in India by reducing the trauma associated with reporting incidents. Let’s find out more about this app in the coming blockchain news today.

Smashboard aims to add more features in the future to help the victims. The team behind the app decided to help those who came out with the sexual abuse stories in the public in order to fight this awful crime and the movement suddenly spurred a lot of anonymous testimonies from victims who were initially silenced. The victims had to relive the trauma if they were to report the attack and often times they face hostilities from their families or friends but also often treaded as lies. To tackle the negatives of such scenarios, sexual abuse victims in India can now be helped with the blockchain-based app.

According to the website, Smashboard states that it is ‘’an alternative social media network with special features for people of all genders fighting patriarchy.’’ The app wants to ease the life of sexual abuse victims by reducing the trauma that is associated with the crime. With the help of blockchain technology, the app will allow the users to create their private ledger of the crime they suffered and store it securely online. The users can gain the option to collect material that can serve as a journal or ‘’as time-stamped evidence in an encrypted personal space.’’

What is even more important, the app allows the sexual abuse victims to find legal counselors of lawyers to interact with them privately. The victims can find journalists and even leave an anonymous tip for them. Smashboard offers all of these features with anonymity which means that sexual abuse victims won’t have to provide their true identities so that they can get comfortable with reporting the crime. This feature will help the victims who go under undiagnosed traumatic stress disorder and are stopped from seeking help after suffering from sexual abuse.

Blockchain also grants anonymity on the platform and allows sexual abuse victims to note all the events of crime through a time-stamp. This feature is meant to aid the victims when they reported the crime to the authorities. The Smashboard app plans to integrate more features in the future to help the victims report the crime.
