Every woman deserves an instant way to call for help.
Free SOS alert buttons for women. Men, this one's on you.
Free SOS alert buttons for women. Men, this one's on you.
Men and anyone who cares donate to fund the SOS alert buttons.
A small, discreet button clipped anywhere on her outfit, or held in her pocket on the walk home.
Her chosen contacts instantly get an SOS alert with her location.
They call 911 with her location and head to her as fast as they can.
The goal is to get one, for free, to each woman across Canada and the US. No smartphone? You'll get a loud personal alarm instead. The SOS button works when a phone is nearby and charged. It's a fast way to get help, not a replacement for 911.
If you'd spend $50 on a first date without thinking, you can help keep women safe. Every donation helps put an SOS alert button in a woman's hand. Then post "I sent one" and tag three friends to prove it too.
SOS alert buttons go to each city as soon as there's a local organizer and enough sign-ups. Join below and we'll let you know when they're ready near you.
Current phase
✅ 1. Launch. Waitlist and fundraising are open.
⬜ 2. Testing. Ordering sample buttons and testing each model at least 600 times.
⬜ 3. First order. Once funded and a button passes testing.
⬜ 4. First delivery. To the first city with an organizer and enough sign-ups, wherever it is.
⬜ 5. More cities. As organizers and sign-ups grow.
Last updated October 3, 2026 · Updated weekly.
Live sign-ups by city. Cities with an organizer get the first batches.
Every city needs one person to make it happen: find a pickup spot like a library or community centre, receive the batch, and set up a sign. It's a few hours, not a job. Interested? Answer "Yes" to the organizer question when you join the waitlist.
Her SOS is a community-run, not-for-profit project. No one is paid from donations, including the founder, Matthew Gallant-Grow. Every dollar goes to buttons, alarms, shipping, pickup materials, platform fees and small running costs. Her SOS isn't a registered charity yet, so donations aren't tax-deductible.
Every donation helps put a button in a woman's hand. Every dollar in and out is logged in a public ledger, and rows are never edited or deleted.
Call 911 right away and give the location from the alert.
Don't call her phone first. It could alert the attacker.
If you're close, go, but let police handle any confrontation.
Then let her other emergency contacts know.
Stay with her and believe her.
Let her decide what happens next. Don't push her to report or not report.
Offer to go with her for medical care. Some care and evidence collection are time-sensitive.
Help her find support, like a local sexual assault centre.
During:
Trust your instincts. Yell, fight, run, or stay still. Whatever you do to get through it is the right choice.
Freezing is normal. Your body may react on its own. That is never your fault.
If you can, move toward light and people, make noise, and call 911 yourself.
Help is coming. Your contacts have your location.
After:
It is not your fault. Nothing you did or didn't do caused this.
Get somewhere safe and let your people stay with you.
Consider medical care soon, even if you're unsure. Some care and evidence collection are time-sensitive, and you can decide about reporting later.
You don't have to decide anything tonight. A local sexual assault centre can help, confidentially, whenever you're ready.
