AN APP THAT MEASURES HOW MANY TIMES MEN INTERRUPTS WOMEN.

ACCORDING TO GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, WOMEN ARE INTERRUPTED 2X AS MUCH AS MAN

To fight this, we created Woman Interrupted, an app that uses the mobile’s microphone to detect manterrupting in daily conversations, using the difference in the frequency of male and female voices.

To understand the real power of this simple idea, the app was downloaded in 185 countries, more than the 174 countries that are part of the UN.

This behavior stops women from expressing themselves and aggravates the lack of female representation. Still, it is not taken seriously.

The development of the app took 6 months of research and tests of an algorithm that allows the app to know the difference between interruptions and just noise.  One of the challenges was performing the analysis without recording audio, to ensure the user’s privacy. Before launch, Woman Interrupted was tested for accuracy by the #1 testing company in Latin America.

67 ARTISTS. 22 COUNTRIES. 87 POSTERS. ONE VOICE.

The cause inspired an art project, the Portraits of Silence Gallery. More than 67 artists from 22 countries illustrated posters, available on the app’s website. All of them created their version of the campaign’s symbol of a woman silenced by a male hand, using the campaign’s colors and elements. Proof that to speak up, you can use more than your voice.
