New Monitoring App for Sex Workers

Nov 8, 2017 | 9:32 AM

Angie Lohr, co-founder of Hope Outreach in Kelowna, is teaming up with a tech company to create a monitoring app for sex workers. 

Yodel me will send out an alert message when a user misses their check-in time. Lohr believes it will guarantee assistance to women in troubling situations. 

After hearing multiple accounts of violence, Lohr wanted to create a better solution in order to help these defenseless women. 

A beta test with about 30 women will take place next month.
