Every 98 seconds a person in the united states is abused. Every 16 hours a woman in the united states is murdered by her romantic partner or ex-partner. Unfortunately sexual abuse and harassment are still very common in the world. Manisha Mohan, a recent graduate from the MIT Media Lab, invented a sticker that can detect sexual assault. The sticker can detect, communicate and prevent sexual assault. Manisha explained the technology behind this sticker and the different prototypes that were considered.
