iMatter Gender-Based Violence app launched

People seeking assistance or resources related to gender-based violence (GBV) can now access services with the click of a button, thanks to the official launch of Guyana's iMatter application. The app gives users direct access to the country's 914 toll-free domestic abuse hotline and became available on both Google Play (as iMatter) and Apple Store (as iMattergy) on 22 January.

Created in March 2021, iMatter is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security and the Guyana Spotlight Initiative.

After downloading iMatter from the app store, users select the region where they live to access relevant educational information on gender-based violence and to find support services.
