Under Saudi Arabia’s draconian guardianship system, every woman in the country is required to have a male guardian, who wields the power to make a wide array of decisions for her from birth to death.

Absher, a Saudi government-created app, makes that even easier with modern technology ― and it’s available through American tech giants Google and Apple.

The companies have come under fire in recent days for hosting Absher, which can impede attempts by women in abusive home environments to flee.

The app also allows users to access certain run-of-the-mill government services, like renewing a driver’s license. What alarms human rights activists, though, is how men can use it to specify when and where women may travel, rescinding permissions with just a few taps. They can also start receiving text messages when their wife or daughter swipes a passport, as Business Insider reported in detail earlier this month.

Those who are caught running away can face death at the hands of their family.
