Resumen

The research focuses on women who have experienced or are currently experiencing some form of violence, whether it be within their family or from individuals close to them, who, due to fear or lack of information, do not approach authorities to report their abusers. The objective is to design a prototype of a user-friendly mobile application that can provide assistance to victims of violence by offering information about women's emergency centers and necessary resources to file complaints. A hybrid methodology was employed, along with the Canva tool, as they were deemed suitable for the project development. The outcome is that users who have experienced any form of violence can access information within the application regarding women's support centers and how to report their abusers. It was concluded that users agree that the use of technology can greatly assist in addressing these social issues, allowing victims of violence to feel secure and empowered to report incidents and receive the necessary help. This research contributes to tackling the pressing social problem of violence against women, benefiting both young people and children in society who may be experiencing violence within their immediate circles.
