According to the most reliable statistics, 10% of 91 victims of sexual assault are women and 9% men.
The large difference in numerical terms justifies the need to find forms of protection and legal protection, and the topic forcefully came back to the surface in our country when the opportunity of measures to punish 'femicide' with aggravating criminal penalties was discussed. Not only are legal solutions being studied: there are those who are trying to find other ways, such as AR WEAR, an American startup that has developed a line of 'anti-aggression' clothing capable of creating a barrier of passive resistance to any attempt to take it off or tear it off. The challenge was to create clothing that was easy to wear and at the same time 'impenetrable' when necessary, even if the victim is in a momentary state of unconsciousness.
How does it work:
The top and bottom edges and the central section of the garment are 'anchored' by a double anti-tear stitching, 'activated' by the wearer when dressing. The dress is thus anchored to the pelvis and any attempt to remove it is in vain. A security measure that can often save a person's life, although we doubt it will eliminate acts of violence. AR Wear is currently seeking financiers for its invention through a popular website through crowdfunding Here is the presentation video:
