Women Against Sexual Predation (W.A.S.P for short) is a very
interesting project. The group started out in their prezi by explaining to the
class the misconceptions about sexual assault, such as how hard it is to come
forward about rape. The group even gave startling statistics such as the fact
that 98% of sexual assault cases are not reported. I feel as though this number
is way too high in the society we live in today, or at least what it should be.
This should immediately show everyone that the group’s service is seriously
needed in our world right now. I appreciate how their service is a website with
an app extension. The group even showed competitors and explained how the group’s
service is even better than these alternatives. The group’s website was put
together very well. I especially loved their logo which is in the image of a
wasp’s nest, further emphasizing the community aspect of their service. The
main part I did not understand about the group’s website home page was the fact
that they had tabs at the top of the screen, then more tabs under the same
titles a little further down the page. However, the delivery of each section
was extremely good. The website’s prevention tips include not only tips to try
to avoid situations in which a person may be sexually assaulted, but the page
also describes tips to people who may commit the crime of sexual assault. The
group’s statistics page is also very well put together with the statistics of
getting sexually assaulted on one side, then the results of being sexually
assaulted on the other side. I personally thought this formatting was well
thought out and visually appealing. The group even decided to place a visual
representation of how many women have been sexually assaulted in their life
time, which is rather horrifying to think that this type of behavior has become
that common in this day and age. The app also seems very easy to use as well as
handy. A person can call the police just by pushing a button on their phone
that will allow the police officers to know that you are about to be sexually
assaulted or that you feel as though you are in danger of that occurring.
Although this is a cool feature, I feel as though the large badge on the screen
kinda gives it away and can put you in more danger than you originally were.
