Content Warning: S-xual Assault

According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1 in every 3 women, at least 840 million worldwide, have experienced physical or s-xual v-olence in their lifetime.

These numbers represent real trauma, survivors denied justice, and a culture in which far too many offenders face no real consequences.

Our society is living through an epidemic of r-pe culture. It seems as though in every angle, the burden falls on survivors. We know that it is not and should not be the responsibility of women to defend themselves from such frequent v-olence. However, in this reality that we face, many of us now refuse to wait on criminals to stop committing crimes. A product that makes self defense more accessible for women’s anatomy is long overdue.

This is why we’ve developed VenusGuard, a women’s self defense sleeve.

It is a concealed internal silicone device, used in a similar way as a tampon or menstrual cup, designed by medical professionals for the purpose of defending against v-ginal penetrative assault.

‍ ‍It incapacitates an attacker if penetration occurs, and collects DNA evidence to be used in prosecution.

No special skills, strength, or training are required for a user of VenusGuard to gain more peace of mind.

The more widely known and accessible VenusGuard becomes, the more that potential offenders will hesitate to offend. The growth in popularity of VenusGuard will let offenders know that risks now include severe pain, identification, and far higher likelihoods of conviction.

Our goal is to create a world where offenders hesitate to offend.‍‍ ‍

Our fiercely dedicated team is committed to transparency with our supporters. With everything we do, we are putting survivors first, and operating from a trauma-informed angle. As the first product of its kind, VenusGuard naturally raises questions. We want our supporters to know that our priority is women’s comfort and safety.

We've conducted thousands of efficacy tests, and the VenusGuard prototype has been approved and endorsed by over 500 women worldwide. Our prototype works incredibly well for its intended use. It is trustworthy, and it is in demand.

Our Mission…

‍ ‍However, actualizing VenusGuard to the public market is going to require significant resources. Here is what our fundraising is for:

We need further testing and production equipment, further clinical evaluations, required regulatory approvals, and eventual registration, all to finally create a full supply for the demand of those in need.

Our first fundraising goal is to establish a product line that is of utmost quality for sale here on our website. A second fundraiser will cover registration and broader rollout to be sold in stores across the globe.

‍ ‍We have reached out to multiple companies and government agencies for partnerships, but they have turned us away. This is largely due to their personal business concerns, and their outdated stigmas around the conversation of r-pe and survivorship. Regardless, we absolutely refuse to believe that arming women with VenusGuard is “controversial”.

That's why we have to turn to our community to make this a grassroots reality.

This is a call to action, and we appreciate any and every gesture.

‍ ‍We are relying on our supporters to help us make a positive impact on women’s safety as soon as possible.

‍ ‍To our dearest supporters and survivors: We appreciate your courage, and we are building this with you in mind. Our content will always be trauma sensitive, and we will include clear warnings where further in depth discussions of r-pe and s-xual v-olence arise.

This is one of several content warnings for potentially triggering material, particularly for the “Understanding the Product & FAQ” page.

We understand that VenusGuard brings up a lot of questions. Our “Understanding the Product & FAQ” page will answer everything you need to know about the product with extensive explanations.

‍ ‍Please beware that there are links to mock demonstrations with mock silicone body parts for instructional use.

Currently, we are working on new videos and animations. If you are interested in how VenusGuard is supposed to work, these demonstrations should further build your understanding and trust of our product.
