</div>
<div>We stand at a crucial crossroads in the fight against s-xual v-olence, and we want justice for women.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>VenusGuard works as a woman’s last line of defense against r-pe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1 in every 3 women, at least 840 million worldwide, have experienced physical or s-xual v-olence in their lifetime.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These numbers represent real trauma, survivors being denied justice, and a culture where far too many offenders escape real consequences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our society is facing an epidemic of r-pe culture. In nearly every aspect, the burden continues to fall on survivors. We know it should not be women’s responsibility to defend themselves against violence that occurs with such frequency, yet this is the reality we live in.
</div>
<div>Many of us refuse to simply wait for criminals to stop committing crimes. A product that makes effective self-defense more accessible to women is long overdue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is why we’ve developed VenusGuard, a women’s self defense sleeve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What is VenusGuard? </strong>
</div>
<div>It is a discreet, internal silicone device that is inserted similarly to a tampon or menstrual cup. Designed by medical professionals, VenusGuard was created to help defend against penetrative sexual assault.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/85320607_1781689858141934_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If penetration occurs, the device interrupts the attack, incapacitates the attacker and collects forensic DNA evidence to aid in their prosecution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No special skills, strength, or training are required to effectively use VenusGuard. With VenusGuard, women can gain greater peace of mind and confidence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The more widely known and accessible this device becomes, the more potential offenders will think twice. Our goal is simple: create a world where attackers hesitate, knowing the risks now include severe pain, certain identification, and a much higher chance of conviction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are a fiercely dedicated team committed to transparency and putting survivors first. Every decision is made from a trauma-informed perspective. As the first product of its kind, VenusGuard naturally raises questions, and we welcome them. Our priority has always been — and will always be — women’s comfort, safety, and dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve already conducted efficacy tests, and our prototype has been approved and endorsed by over 500 women worldwide. The demand is real.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, bringing VenusGuard to market requires significant resources. That’s where we need your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will fund essential user evaluations, quality approvals, production and test equipment, and high-quality manufacturing so we can meet the demand from women who need this protection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is our call to action.<strong> If you believe women deserve better tools for protection, join us.</strong> Donate if you can. Share this with your network. Start conversations. Every contribution and every share brings us closer to making VenusGuard widely available.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve reached out to companies and government agencies for partnerships, but have been turned away due to outdated stigmas around sexual violence. We refuse to wait for permission. With your support, we will make this a grassroots success.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are relying on our community to help bring this life-changing device to women as quickly as possible. Thank you for your courage, your hope, and your belief in a safer future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The VenusGuard Team</strong>
