Overview
Zoteria is a free iOS app built by the Vodafone Foundation and listed in the Lifestyle category (subcategory: Health & Fitness). It’s designed to support the LGBTQ+ community by offering tools for reporting incidents, locating assistance, and learning more about LGBTQ+ issues in a safe, confidential environment.
Core tools
- A curated knowledge center with articles, educational materials, and guides to help users understand LGBTQ+ history, rights, and wellbeing.
- A searchable directory of community resources — from counseling and legal aid to healthcare providers and local support groups.
- An anonymous reporting system that lets people confidentially share experiences of hate crimes or discrimination for awareness, research, and advocacy.
Privacy and reporting
Zoteria emphasizes user safety and discretion. Reporting is anonymous to minimize risk of retaliation, and shared reports can contribute to aggregated data that advocates and researchers use to document trends and push for change. The app is built to keep personal details protected while enabling meaningful reporting.
Finding help when you need it
The in-app directory makes it straightforward to find relevant services near you. Listings cover a wide range of support — mental health counselors, legal advisors, crisis hotlines, and LGBTQ+ community organizations — so users can quickly identify the help that fits their situation.
Why people use Zoteria
