In Mexico, nearly 10 women are killed every day because of gender-based violence (OAS).
“The rise in femicides does not only reflect a safety crisis; it calls for urgent, collective responses.”
The data from the Organization of American States (OAS) is clear: violence against women in Mexico has reached alarming levels. Femicide, as the most extreme form of this violence, takes the lives of thousands of daughters, mothers, friends, and neighbors every year. Behind every number is a story cut short, and a community marked by fear, helplessness, and outrage.
The crisis beyond the numbers
Every statistic reflects a painful reality. Violence limits women’s freedom to walk down the street, study, work, or live peacefully in their own homes. This crisis affects all of us because it erodes trust and safety in daily life: on our streets, in schools, at work, and at home.
Teem: when community becomes protection
In such a difficult context, solidarity can help save lives. Teem was born from that belief: that no one should face danger alone. The app connects communities and gives them practical tools to activate a community response during a critical situation:
- Quick alert button: send a help signal with a double-click.
- Trusted network: family members, friends, or neighbors connected so they can respond to any alert.
- Community action: if members of the Teem community are nearby, they receive the alert and can take safe, immediate actions such as documenting photos and videos of the incident, offering support and helping deter threats.
From vulnerability to shared protection
The rise in femicides in Mexico is an urgent call to rethink how we care for one another as a society. Caring for each other as a community is more urgent than ever. Prevention and solidarity are among our strongest defenses. Technology does not replace human support, but it can strengthen it. It helps us stay closer, respond faster, and organize better when someone needs help.
