  • Creating a Safe Space for Women and Girls in India ​
    The Project: Creating a Safe Space for Women and Girls in India ​ With the USD 5000 raised through crowdfunding on GlobalGiving, we plan to conduct the following activities: - Design a digital toolkit called “Safecity in a Box” that will allow us to equip our partners with resources to start Safecity chapters in their neighbourhoods. The tool kit will explain the concept of Safecity, why reporting is important, helping understand the spectrum of abuse, legislations on sexual violence internationally and nationally and how crowdsourced data can work to bring about change in local neighbourhoods and accountability amongst institutions. - Conduct workshops for 300 women and girls in India to help them raise awareness ​ about the spectrum of abuse and the legislation under which their rights are protected. Through these workshops we will encourage them to report their stories anonymously and help them use the data collected for local change in their neighbourhoods. This data is a unique dataset that can be used to generate reports, aid research and create advocacy campaigns. - Use the data collected to engage citizens online and offline to take action against sexual violence. Expected reach of the project: 300 women and girls through workshops and capacity ​ building for 10 partner organisation Online reach - At least 100,000 citizens ​ Safecity Executive Summary Safecity is an online-platform that crowdsources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse in public spaces across the globe. The data collected, which may be anonymous, is aggregated as hot spots on a map indicating trends at a local level. Our goal is to make this data useful for individuals and local communities and policymakers to identify factors that causes behaviour that leads to violence and work on strategies for solutions.
