Problem
Victims of domestic violence often cannot safely access reliable information about their legal rights, available support services, or tools to document abuse, leading to delayed assistance and weakened evidence for legal proceedings.
Solution
ILA offers a mobile application designed to operate discreetly on a smartphone, masking its purpose while providing a secure digital hub for individuals experiencing intrafamilial violence. The app aggregates verified resources—including lawyers, victim‑support associations, healthcare providers, and law‑enforcement contacts—into a searchable directory accessible without leaving the device. It also delivers concise, actionable guidance on rights and next steps, and includes an encrypted personal journal that enables users to record testimonies, photos, audio, and video over time, creating a tamper‑evident evidence package that can be exported for legal use. All data are stored locally with end‑to‑end encryption and synchronized to a GDPR‑compliant cloud only with the user’s explicit consent.
Target Audience
The primary users are individuals in France experiencing domestic or family violence, as well as trusted family members or friends assisting them in seeking help.
