Project background.
South Africa faces a significant challenge concerning the mental health of women who are victims of gender-based violence. The prevalence of violence against women, coupled with limited resources and support services, creates a critical need for innovative solutions. To address this issue, we propose the development of a chatbot-powered platform that aims to provide accessible and empathetic mental health support to women affected by gender-based violence throughout South Africa.
