The
Association of Title IX Administrators (ATIXA) launches a unique game-based
smartphone app to fight against the rising tyranny of campus violence. They are
also offering one year’s free subscription of this mobile application service to boost
up the students’ awareness of campus violence, be it alcohol abuse or any kind
of misconducts against the college and university students.
Dozens of colleges and universities are currently in the
spotlight of news media for increasing students’ assault claims, ragging
complains and women harassments causing thousands of young students to take a
stand countrywide and several colleges and universities to reform policy. However,
technology is fighting back too. U of Nine, the new smartphone app, offers the
college and university students, employees and the administration the ability to
engage in social finer point games on topics like, ragging, intimate partner
violence, harassment, violence, and stalking. The college or university
administrators can track usage through the app and make use of analytics. Since,
the students and staffs can access it wherever and whenever they want, it’s
becoming increasingly popular among the young generation.
In recent days, India has faced too many turmoils over campus
violence. So many agitation and students’ movements took place in last 5 years,
protesting against the increasing incidents of campus violence; intellectuals
from all over the world rising voice in the favour of campus democracy. In this
very social and political situation, this initiative to make awareness among
students is strongly commendable.
Students require more such mobile app services for themselves to fight back against criminal offence. According to the crime
report 1 out of 5 women face violence on college or university campus and 3 out
of 5 students face ragging while studying in the 1st year of
college. UGC directives to
colleges and universities advise institutional administrations to take severe
action against bullies and wrongdoers on ache of either de-affiliating it in the
case of a college or else cutting down economic assistance if it is a
university. Besides, the Supreme Court of India took note of ragging in 2001, and
now almost every college and university has anti-ragging sales and committees.
But still, we have far more to go for the gender sensitization. In this
situation a smartphone application service can widen the smile of the students and help to create a
strong awareness against gender harassment in college and university campus.
There are several mobile app development companies in India, trying
to meet the public needs by providing useful mobile apps, some of them are
getting increasing popularity among young generation.
