Safecity is committed to creating safer communities for everyone. Our goal is to empower citizens by helping them understand the potential risks they could face in different neighbourhoods. We can do this by sharing our experiences or others anonymously and make these stories available for all. The platform serves law enforcement agencies with information on sexual harassment and other crimes occurring in public and private spaces. The platform’s data helps keep public spaces safe by enabling authorities to keep track of incidents and prevent sexual harassment in the future.

Red Dot Foundation won the Local Data Mitr Award under the Thematic category and was recognised for using data points and evidence-driven approaches to solve civic issues and drive change in cities.

Josh Talks, in partnership with Omidyar Network India, launched the City Champions – a platform for celebrating the unsung heroes of our cities. It is an award program to identify, recognise and reward organisations who are tirelessly working towards building a better future.

SafeCircle is a secure, trusting space for survivors of violence and abuse. This is a non-judgmental listening circle for survivors to share their experiences, learn from others and know that they are not alone. You are invited to join us, on zoom, in sharing and learning in SafeCircle.
