Coinciding with the celebration of International Women’s Day, the Cabify mobility platform has created a safe signal for women drivers and passengers.

They themselves affirm that it is a technology that they themselves define as “the technology that should not exist”. Hers is an initiative designed with the aim of valuing respect for the integrity of women in cities.

‘Signal secret’ for female drivers and passengers of Cabify

Cabify’s initiative seeks to introduce a technology to make all users feel safe on their journeys.

The Secret Signal is proposed with the aim of protecting female drivers who feel insecure during a service (a FreeMove report ensures that seven out of 10 female taxi drivers have felt discriminated against). It is a tool that activates security verification protocols in real time in order to dissuade any bad behavior of the passenger.

From the company they anticipate that the Cabify app also integrates other functionalities that meet the objective of ensuring the safety of drivers and passengers:

  • Emergency button: allows direct contact with Cabify or with the emergency services in case of need

  • Trusted contact: to automatically share all travel information with a favorite contact from the passenger user’s address book. It is not necessary for the trusted person to have the Cabify application installed or active, since text messages will be sent to their smartphone.

  • Share trip: possibility of sharing the trip so that contacts know exactly where the passenger or driver is during the entire journey.

“One of the values ​​that drives us at Cabify is to make cities safer places and, therefore, better places to live,” explain platform sources.

“We are aware that in many parts of the world the streets are still unsafe for women, and with this campaign we want to make drivers and passengers aware of this situation,” says Lara Hoya, Engineering Manager of Governance and Support at Cabify.

“At Cabify we reject violence and our investment in innovation to make people feel more protected is a priority for us; unfortunately we will continue to dedicate a lot of effort to developing technology that should not exist, if we all lived in a more inclusive world,” he adds. .
