Our Mantra
We envision a world with fewer assaults, less worry. One that’s safer. Where anyone can live their life boldly. So, we started ROAR for Good.
Athena is just the beginning :
We do not just want to put a bandaid on the problem of violence against women. In addition to Athena, we are committed to getting to the root cause of this violence.
The ROAR Back Program : For each device sold ,
we ROAR back a portion of the proceeds to educational programs that have been shown to increase empathy and reduce violence.
