A new app is aiming to crack down on rapists in a country where the crime is far too common.

MediCapt will serve as a vital tool in collecting evidence and information on cases concerning sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), TakePart reported. The cell phone app, set to be released in 2016, will digitize the process in which field workers and medical professionals gather and save information provided by rape victims.

 

The app — which launched as a pilot in DRC in January 2014 — has the potential to protect women around the world in the coming years: “International adoption of this new technology will be a crucial contribution to ending impunity for mass atrocities,”
