Regardless of the country you live in, it’s an unspoken rule that, when you’re done meeting a friend, family member or colleague after a long day, you always tell them, “Text me when you get home.” Why is that?

This everyday phrase became the starting point for Text Me When You Get Home, an online platform founded by Bengaluru-based social entrepreneur Devina S that explores how people navigate safety in their physical and digital lives. The movement was shaped by Devina’s own distressing experience while living in New York in 2021. After not being able to process the incident, she started speaking to people around her and realised how common it was to not feel safe, even in broad daylight. That eventually grew into a community conversation.
