In the context of expanding preventative strategies for addressing sexual violence, we are witnessing the emergence of an array of new anti-rape technologies targeted at women. These tools, promoted primarily through the Internet, include a variety of apps for mobile phones, signal- and alarm-emitting wearable technologies, and internal and external body devices. Based on analyses of websites promoting such instruments, we critically examine these devices with respect to their possible benefits, limitations, and unintended physical, social, and legal consequences for women. We suggest that unanticipated outcomes may undermine both victims and their cases, those the technologies are ostensibly designed to help.
在扩大预防性策略以解决性暴力问题的背景下，我们看到了一系列针对女性的新型防强奸技术的出现。这些工具主要通过互联网推广，包括各种手机应用程序、信号和报警可穿戴技术以及内部和外部身体设备。通过对宣传这些工具的网站进行分析，我们批判性地审视了这些设备在可能的好处、局限性以及对女性身体、社会和法律的意外后果方面的问题。我们认为，意外后果可能会破坏技术原本旨在帮助的受害者及其案件。
