Living alone
Living on your own can be a thrilling and exciting experience, where your independence is finally realized for what might be the first time ever. Enjoy the newfound freedom with the knowledge that someone out there can help keep you safe if necessary.
What does it mean to be living alone?
A new job, heading off to college, or just a general craving for independence, there are many reasons why people of all backgrounds choose to fly the nest and live alone. There is nothing quite like the feeling of being in control of your life and decisions, without worrying about waking your mom or disturbing a roommate.
However, with newly acquired liberty comes a few safety concerns as well–– especially if you identify as a woman or nonbinary individual. While society has come a long way in improving these vulnerable groups’ safety, there is still, unfortunately, more to be done. We hope to help by offering our secure, fully encrypted services built to keep you safe.
Safety concerns for people living alone
If you’re someone living alone for any reason, especially if you are a non-white member of the LGBT+ community, the safety concerns don’t need to be spelled out. The likelihood of being a victim of a physical or sexual crime increases simply by virtue of being on your own. We know that not only are you aware of these potential dangers, but your family is as well and they want to be sure you’re as safe as possible. This is why we’ve done everything possible to ensure that HYF.M is here for you to keep you out of trouble.
Risk of Sexual Assault
As a woman or nonbinary person, the risk of sexual assault is higher than a cis man’s, especially when living by yourself. By regularly updating loved ones with your whereabouts, you can increase the chances of getting out of risky situations unscathed.
Being Followed by a Stalker
The sad reality is that people are unpredictable and can be capable of some perverse things. Those living alone can be more at risk of being stalked by a dangerous person, but by using our highly secure and encrypted features you can rest assured that someone you love is monitoring your safety and can act accordingly in case of an emergency.
Ending Up in a Place You Don’t Know
If you are someone living alone for the first time, or are living alone in a new area, it’s likely you could end up in unfamiliar situations in unknown places. With HYF.M, you can enjoy new experiences with the relieving knowledge that your loved ones are equipped to save you from any potential dangers.
No Way to Alert Someone You Trust
Who hasn’t rushed to the bar only to realize their phone has 27% left? Who hasn’t accidentally dropped their phone in the toilet when updating their best friend on the disastrous date they’re on? Life happens, and sometimes we’re left in sticky situations where we’re unable to notify someone we trust of any suspicious behavior. Luckily, loved ones (and only them!) are granted access to your life-saving information once criteria that you have established is met, regardless of the state of your technology.
Safety must be your first priority.
You never know when you’ll end up in a risky situation. Make sure the people you trust have access to the information that can potentially save you in an emergency.
