KADES nears 10 million downloads
The Women's Support Application (KADES), developed by the Ministry of Interior to combat violence against women, has been downloaded 9,859,147 times, approaching the 10 million threshold. To date, 239,356 reports have been made via the app, 64 percent of which were genuine.
Launched by the Ministry of Interior in 2018 with the aim of effectively using technology in the fight against violence against women, the Women's Support Application (KADES) has reached 9,859,147 downloads, approaching the 10 million threshold.
A total of 239,356 reports have been received through the app to date. Of these, 152,974 were based on real cases, while 86,382 were false. The proportion of genuine reports stands at 64 percent.
KADES sends a call to security units with location information at the touch of a button in an emergency. After the notification, the nearest law enforcement team is dispatched to the scene. Until the nature of the report is confirmed, every notification is treated as a risk to life safety and the intervention process begins. The app can be used in 10 different languages in addition to Turkish.
Minister Çiftçi: 'A direct security line between women and the state'
Interior Minister Mustafa Çiftçi told an AA correspondent that KADES ensures women can quickly reach security units when they need to. Calling on women who have not yet downloaded the app, Çiftçi said:
Ensuring women feel safe is a continuous state responsibility, not limited to intervention at the moment of an incident. We see KADES not just as a mobile app, but as a direct security line established between women and the state in times of danger. I urge women who have not yet used the app to keep KADES ready and to use it without hesitation whenever they feel threatened.
Çiftçi stressed that every call transmitted through KADES is handled with utmost sensitivity, and said: 'The call made with location information reaches our nearest security team. We will continue to mobilize all the capabilities of our technology, personnel, and protective mechanisms for a future where not a single woman in Turkey loses her life due to violence and all women feel safe in every aspect of life.'
13,803 cases monitored via electronic ankle monitors
In the fight against violence against women, the electronic ankle monitor system is actively used alongside KADES. According to ministry data, a total of 13,803 cases have been tracked with the electronic ankle monitor system since 2021. Of these, monitoring for 12,327 cases has been completed, while active monitoring continues for 1,476 cases across 70 provinces.
Individuals subject to electronic ankle monitor measures are monitored 24/7 at the Electronic Monitoring Center. If the individual violates the court-ordered distance by approaching the protected person, entering a restricted area, or attempting to remove the ankle monitor, an alert is triggered in the system. Subsequently, the protected person is notified and the nearest security team is dispatched to the area.
