React Mobile and Take Back the Night Partner to End Sexual Assault and Violence Against Women
Organizations Join Forces to Provide App Enabled Panic Button to Call for Help in an Emergency
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/19/15 -- , a leader in personal safety, today announced a strategic partnership with , a charitable foundation seeking to end all forms of sexual violence, to provide college students with a React Sidekick Bluetooth panic button to help enhance their safety and prevent dating and domestic violence. Take Back the Night founder and national expert on student safety and technology Katie Koestner will be presenting to fraternity and sorority members at Monday, October 19th at 8pm. She will be sharing her personal story about sexual assault and discussing how we can work together to end sexual violence. There will be an information session immediately following the event to learn more about the Sidekick initiative and how to get involved with fundraising opportunities to be held at the restaurant.
The React Sidekick is a personal panic button that can be used to quickly and remotely activate a widespread emergency alert without the need to find, unlock and dial from a phone that may be out of reach. The React Sidekick pairs with the free React Mobile safety app to provide peace of mind and is the fastest way to reach a wide network when it matters most.
"We need to feel strong and confident as women, no matter what we are wearing or where we are going," said Koestner. "We are fortunate to have technological options to help us in emergencies."
Koestner travels the country speaking to college students, Greeks, Athletes and High School kids on the topics of dating violence, healthy relationships, personal safety, sexual assault and rape. Her real-life story began with a short term dating relationship that quickly turned into a source of loss of trust, hurt and nightmares. Koestner shares a personal message of courage and important information about risk reduction and bystander activism. She is empowering and inspiring to both men and women.
React Mobile is dedicated to supporting safety and awareness education and has committed to supporting the educational initiatives of Take Back the Night Foundation, such as "Respect My Red." "We are trying to give today's students both awareness and technology to increase the safety of our campuses," says Robb Monkman, CEO, React Mobile. "I know how I felt when I was robbed at gunpoint in college, and no one should ever feel helpless. I set out to change that."

Users can easily activate React Mobile's "Follow-Me" location sharing service and rest assured that people in their emergency network are tracking their whereabouts in real-time whenever they're concerned about safety.
