Introducing SafeSigns, a WhatsApp-based chatbot being Implemented by Reach Digital Health with Ipas and Love Life, SafeSigns is transforming how adolescent girls aged 15-18 in Gqeberha, South Africa, understand and prevent dating violence. The team is building a WhatsApp based chatbot co-designed with young women themselves, ensuring that the language, tone and tools reflect their preferences and lived experiences.
Users will engage with short, interactive modules that cover healthy relationships, emotional wellbeing, decision making, communication skills, online safety and more. The experience is structured yet gentle, designed to feel like a supportive conversation rather than a lesson. Young women using the tool will choose avatars that feel familiar, listen to voice notes, complete mini quizzes and practice real-life scenarios, from spotting red flags to negotiating boundaries.
At every step, they can access simple, age-appropriate referrals to trusted services such as Thuthuzela Care Centres, mental health support, sexual and reproductive health services and GBV helplines. A built-in help desk will allow girls to connect with a trained person when they want to talk to someone directly.
