The goal: safety for all

Sexual assault and domestic violence affect all genders and communities around the globe.

One in 3 women worldwide has experienced sexual assault and/or domestic violence in her lifetime. Promoting global awareness and partnering with leading organizations will aid in the fight against this abuse.

OUR CONTRIBUTION

Promoting global awareness

We’re using Uber’s scope and visibility to help promote awareness, education, and prevention of sexual assault and domestic violence for millions around the world.

Committing $5 million to fund prevention initiatives

The $5 million commitment over 5 years will fund programmatic partnerships focused on prevention. An initial portion will go to our partners like the National Network to End Domestic Violence, NO MORE, and Raliance. These partners and this funding will also help address critical funding gaps for marginalized communities.

Providing important information to drivers and riders

According to experts, increasing awareness can help prevent sexual assault and domestic violence. In collaboration with partner organizations and our Safety Advisory Board, we have developed awareness and prevention messaging—and are informing millions of riders and drivers around the world through our in-app technology.

Fostering a supportive environment

Joining the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence helps us develop and adopt updated internal commitments and procedures that appropriately assist employees who might need help in this global epidemic.

Using technology to enhance safety for riders and drivers

Technology can help increase accountability and transparency, such as pre-trip driver and car information sent to riders, a 2-way feedback system, and features like Real-Time ID Check, which helps verify that the right driver is behind the wheel. A top priority is continuing to invest in this technology and develop new products that contribute to the safety of everyone who drives and rides using the app.

Partnering with leading organizations

We joined the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence in order to develop and adopt updated internal commitments and procedures that appropriately assist employees who might need our help in this global epidemic.

We choose not to remain silent but to join other leading organizations pioneering efforts in this area.
