Two women in the canton of Schaffhausen set up a free transport service after a rape case. The aim is to "work together to ensure that no one has to travel alone and unsafely".
On the night of November 2, an offender dragged a year-old woman into a bush in the town of Schaffhausen and raped her. He then made off. The public prosecutor's office is still investigating unknown persons. Indja Hunziker 26 and Vanessa Fanni 32 want to do something about the fear and anger they felt.
The crime took place in their neighborhood. So they founded the site "gethomesafesh" on Instagram. The idea: "Working together to ensure that no one has to travel alone and unsafe anymore," they write. Anyone who doesn't have money for a cab and the last bus has already left can contact them and then get a free ride home. And they are successful. Within 24 hours, they had 2, followers.
In the first few hours, over 60 people contacted them wanting to offer a ride, they told the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper. They can no longer answer all the messages.
Now, a few weeks later, the two have been able to build up a pool of drivers for the escort service. Clear rules have been drawn up to guarantee the safety of everyone involved and a Telegram chat has been set up where people who need a ride can get in touch.
