**Mobimocc** is a digital initiative by the Reclaiming Spaces Initiative that began in 2019. The project is designed specifically for rural women, providing a lifeline for survivors and individuals affected by Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Through an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) platform, women can access lessons, songs, and GBV-related information via feature phones, ensuring inclusivity even in areas with limited internet access. ### **Impact** The project has transformed the way GBV information is disseminated, creating safe spaces for learning, asking questions, and receiving real-time counseling. It has empowered women to take informed steps toward safety and well-being, amplifying rural voices in combating GBV. The engagement of counselors directly on the platform has also fostered a sense of community and immediate support. ### **How Can People Help?** To support Mobimocc, individuals and organizations can: 1. **Partner** to extend the platform’s reach and content. 2. **Donate** to fund operational costs like call subsidies for users. 3. **Volunteer** as counselors or trainers to enhance support quality. 4. **Advocate** for policies that support similar inclusive technologies. Together, we can amplify rural voices and foster a more equitable future!
