Red Dot Foundation aims to make cities safer by encouraging equal access to public and private spaces for everyone, especially women and girls, through the use of crowdsourced data, community engagement, and institutional accountability. Our flagship program is Safecity, a platform that crowdsources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse in public and private spaces. This data, which may be anonymous, gets aggregated as hot spots on a map indicating trends at a local level. The idea is to make this data useful for individuals, local communities, and local administration to identify factors that cause behavior that leads to violence and work on strategies for solutions. Our main objective is to: - Create awareness on sexual harassment and abuse and get women and other disadvantaged communities to break their silence and report their personal experiences. - Collate this information to showcase location-based trends and make this information available and useful for individuals.
