Happy International Women’s Day 2026 🟣
Today we launch RedFlaq
In South Africa, gender based violence is not an abstract statistic. It is something many women navigate every day when making ordinary life decisions.
Meeting someone from a dating app.
Moving in with a new roommate.
Hiring someone to work inside their home.
Signing a lease with a landlord they barely know.
And the advice women are often given is the same.
Trust your gut.
Be careful.
Meet in public.
But instinct alone cannot reveal what may already exist in public records.
Sometimes the person who later harms you did not suddenly change.
Sometimes the history was already there.
A past charge.
A court judgment.
A protection order.
The information existed. It was simply buried in systems ordinary people could not easily access.
That is why we built RedFlaq.
RedFlaq turns verified public records into a simple safety signal that helps women make more informed decisions before trust turns into risk.
In seconds, users can check whether there are known public record warnings linked to someone they are about to trust.
The platform uses verified sources such as police wanted lists, court judgments, and government notices. The results are confidential, transparent, and fully POPIA compliant.
RedFlaq does not accuse anyone.
It does not guarantee someone is safe.
And it does not solve gender based violence.
But it gives women something they have rarely had before.
Visibility.
Before you meet someone new.
Before you invite someone into your home.
Before you trust someone with your safety.
You can check first.

Because “trust your gut” should not be the only safety advice women receive.
