Celebrating our First Foundation Day

Safecity started off as a project in response to a horrific incident that took place in Delhi in December 2012.

We observed over the next 1 year that there was a need for a platform where women and girls should share their experiences on sexual violence without being judged and where they could find solidarity with others. And so the decision to make Safecity a concrete entity was taken in Dec 2013.

However as with all good things in life, the registration process took us almost a year. We had to choose between a Society, Trust and a Sec 25 company. We chose the Sec 25 company route and during our application process it changed to Sec 8.

Almost 11 months after we started the process, on 3 November 2014, we were finally registered as RED DOT FOUNDATION that works at the intersection of gender, equality, technology, community and justice.

Last year we were a team of 2 full time staff and today we have grown to 4 full time staff, 3 interns and several extremely dedicated volunteers apart from ElsaMarie and Supreet.
