Two High School students from Limuru Girls have invented an anti-abduction system by the name of Femicide Abduction System Alert (FASA), a behavioral science-based safety intervention designed to reduce femicide-related abductions.
Sharon Njoki, a form three student, and Michelle Ndolo, a form two student, told Kenyans.co.ke that they were inspired by a case where a female Multi-Media University student was murdered and her body dumped in a water tank.
The two then decided to craft a system that uses GPS, a panic button, and auto alerts to enhance women's safety. "We were inspired by the MMU case, where a female student was murdered and her body thrown into a tank.
The incident, among many other cases of femicide, led us to invent the system which detects abductions and sends notification alerts for help," Ndolo told this writer.
