Safecity, also known as Safecity.in, is a free website that allows anonymous reporting of incidents of gender-based harassment, abuse, and violence, and creates a map that can be viewed and downloaded by anyone. It is available in India, Kenya, Cameroon, Nepal,[1] and Malaysia.[2]
The website was developed by the Red Dot Foundation after the 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder of Jyoti Singh (also known as Nirbhaya).[3] Safecity has used the data collected to advocate for improvements in public safety measures and to increase public awareness of sexual harassment, abuse, and violence.
