Hi all
Well, we’re well and truly into 2025! Hope you're all doing fabulously and life is treating you and your loved ones, well.
In today's blog, I wanted to discuss why the Soundhero personal safety alarms have become an essential tool for so many women and children, looking to improve how safe they feel in their daily life.
But first we'll start with some stats. We don't want to sound depressing, but unfortunately there are some scary numbers out there around safety, especially around safety for women. That’s why we’re seeing a growing demand for our alarms – they’re a simple and easy tool to carry, to help you feel safer.
Random Safety Statistics for Women:
Australia:
In 2024, Australia saw a significant increase in men's violence against women, with over 100 women and children losing their lives. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
United States:
A 2024 survey revealed that 37% of women reported being harassed at work, while 73% reported being harassed in a public space.
According to Gallup polls conducted, 37% of people in the U.S. fear walking alone somewhere within a mile of their home.
WE DON’T EVEN FEEL SAFE AT WORK OR NEAR OUR HOMES.
United Kingdom:
In the year ending March 2023, 1.3% of women aged 16 to 74 experienced domestic abuse, equating to approximately 1.9 million women.
67,928 rapes reported to the police between April 2023 and March 2024.
HOW IS THIS HAPPENING IN THE UK, OR ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER?!
statistics underscore the importance of personal safety measures. Our Soundhero personal safety alarms offer a practical solution, providing immediate assistance and potentially deterring attackers.
So, how does a SOUNDHERO personal alarm come into the safety equation?
Our Soundhero personal alarms emit a minimum siren of 130DB for our battery operated model and 135 DB for our USB rechargeable model. They also both have a bright flashing LED light that displays when activated but can also be used anytime as a torch function!
They are so easy to use – simply pull the pin or keychain to activate in the alarm, in the event of feeling uncomfortable or scared in your surrounds, or if you require attention. They are perfect to use to deter potential attackers and alert bystanders during an emergency.
Our personal safety alarms are designed to be compact, easy to carry, and simple to use.
Remember, you’re Safer with a SOUNHDERO.
Take care and until next time, stay safe.
