A light to prevent darkness

Stephenie Rodriguez, an Australian, is a serial entrepreneur and global citizen. She is the Founder of JOZU for WOMEN Inc, and the inventor of the WanderSafe beacon. Stephenie has lived on two continents and travelled to more than 55 countries. During an interview with The Guardian, she explained that she is on a personal mission to impact a billion lives by 2025, and to help people commute and travel better and safer, in support of nine of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

Hello Stephenie, it’s been a pleasure being introduced to you and your work. Please can you share some details about WanderSafe and JOZU?
WanderSafe is a complete holistic personal safety solution. It is both a free smartphone app to download that will give you information about where you are and it works together with a beacon, which is an Internet of things device that I designed in collaboration with a 24-year CIA counter terrorism expert on safety. It is non-violent and it’s for empowering you to go anywhere. It is designed for vulnerable people that includes men, women, children, elderly, LGBT. For anyone who feels unsafe at any time.
