STEAR app analytics for January 11

Screening Tool for Economic Abuse Recovery (otherwise known as STEAR) is a free app designed for people who have experienced a form of domestic violence known as economic abuse. It contains general information on different types of economic abuse, a questionnaire to help identify it in relationships, tips on safety planning and specific resources to support you on your path to economic empowerment and freedom. Gathering resources to escape economic abuse can be tricky when living with the abuser. For your safety, a lock feature has been built into the app for discreet browsing. When you click on the lock icon the app will switch to a mock home organizing page with images of decor and recipes. To get back into the app after the lock screen has been activated, the app requires you to set a 4-digit pin at the beginning, however, no personally identifiable information the user submits to the app will be stored. This means that with each session, the app will open as brand new. Note, if you feel unsafe downloading this app onto your personal device consider using the web version on a private browser where your history will be cleared upon closing the window. You can visit our site at https://stear.app/. The STEAR app guides users through a series of pages that break down aspects of economic abuse including common controlling mechanisms and tactics, employment sabotage and economic control. Along with this information, there is a quiz for users to take to assess their situation to see if they're at risk. It is not a replacement for consultation with professional accounting, tax, legal or other competent advisors. STEAR was developed by the Canadian Center for Womens Empowerment (CCFWE) with funding from the Government of Canada and WAGE
