WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
In our “lucky country”, there’s a silent pandemic lurking. We have Increasing numbers of vulnerable women, across multiple cohorts and indicators. Life’s not so lucky for some. In Australia each year 2.2 million women experience violence by an intimate partner each year and we’re seeing more older women 55+ than ever, at risk of homelessness.
Recent research by leading impact firm, Social Outcomes cites a KPMG report that estimates that the total cost of violence against women and their children in Australia is $22 billion.
Women experiencing domestic abuse face safety concerns and they experience unpredictable events that means constant interruptions and absences from work. They struggle to find childcare they can trust and afford and to navigate the inflexibility of work arrangements to cater for court appearances, and all of the other interfaces with service providers for them and their children.
INTRODUCING SCRIIBED
Scriibed is an early-stage, female founded social impact business. We provide professional transcription, deploying a hybrid model of best-in-market speech to text technology, coupled with human input to service customers across multiple markets – FOR SOCIAL IMPACT.
OUR WHY
Our core purpose is to engage vulnerable women in:
- Safe, secure and flexible employment – for long-term financial security
- Wrap-around supports like legal referrals, links to other services, career, vocation and/or entrepreneurial pathway options
- Partnered programs supporting women to build resilience and break cycles of trauma and abuse – igniting intergenerational transformation
Why transcription?
Transcription services meet many of the employment needs of women who have or are experiencing domestic and family abuse:
- It is safe - women can work from home or a remote location
- It is secure - a growth industry and with the right employment contracts means women can rely on a steady and predictable income, and exit the gig economy which leaves women more vulnerable
- It is flexible and portable - women can work where and when they are able
