MERCEDES MOLLOY

Mercedes Molloy is a survivor, activist and founder of Safe Squad, an app committed to providing peace of mind for young women and men across the globe.

Mercedes believes safety is a fundamental right and one that should be free. In the years after surviving a sexual assault when she was just 13, Molloy went looking for an app that could help her family and friends check her whereabouts and alert them if she was in danger. Instead, she was shocked to find most safety apps cost money to download or required paid subscriptions. At the age of 18, she dug into her own college savings to build Safe Squad, a free app that would be more inclusive.

Because justice is more than a hashtag. We must use Sarah’s death to flip the narrative of safety and ensure the same doesn’t happen to the next girl or guy out there 🌟#justiceforsaraheverard #safetyfirst #rip
