HASSL Featured in Stylist Magazine on Tech & Safety

Today, we are featured in Stylist Magazine in an article exploring whether technology can prevent violence against women and girls (VAWG). The piece positions HASSL among the emerging voices pushing tech beyond personal safety - towards systemic change. Read now: "Does technology have the power to prevent VAWG and keep women safe?"

In the article, our work is framed not as yet another “safety app for women” but as part of a broader shift: using technology, advocacy, and structural tactics to challenge harassment at its roots. Stylist elevates questions about the limits of tech (when tools place responsibility back onto individuals) and highlights how HASSL is carving a different path, embedding accountability into systems rather than burdening people with more "tools" to protect themselves.

This recognition is significant because Stylist’s audience includes fashion, culture, and socially conscious readers - people whose attention can broaden the conversation and reach new networks who might not yet engage with safety or gender justice work. Being cited in a mainstream platform like this helps validate our approach and gives more weight to our arguments about what real safety infrastructure needs to look like.

In terms of our plan, this moment strengthens our progress through Stage 2 and toward Stage 3 - growing our reputation, widening networks, and making it clearer that the conversation about safety isn’t just about apps and devices, but power, systems, and accountability.
