Safecity’s Campus Ambassador Programme
Duration : July – September
Safecity is a platform that crowdsources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse in public spaces. This data which maybe 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 causing behaviour that leads to violence and work on strategies for solutions.
Since our launch on 26th Dec, 2012 we have collected over 8750 stories from over 50 cities in India, Kenya, Cameroon and Nepal. Safecity has won several awards and international recognition in the 4 years since its inception.
A very strong part of our work involves young students who take this fight against sexual harassment to their colleges and communities.
Safecity’s Campus Ambassador (CA) programme is an initiative to empower young leaders while giving them a first-hand experience of leadership and organization.
