SAFE CITY - 2024 Collective Action Award

#globalleadershipawards #gla24 #leadingtherise #vitalvoices
In response to the Delhi Gang Rape and Murder case in 2012, ElsaMarie D’Silva (2017 Global Leadership Award Honoree) created Red Dot Foundation, working at the intersection of gender, technology, communications, data, and urban planning. Safecity is its flagship program.
Safecity is a mobile app and platform that crowdsources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse in public spaces. Its data, which can be anonymous, gets aggregated as hot spots on a map indicating trends at a local level. The strategy is to make this data useful for individuals, communities, and local governments to identify factors that lead to violence and to improve public safety.
Safecity technology and best practices have been made available to leaders throughout the Vital Voices Global Network who have implemented local Safecity initiatives of their own in the following countries so far:
India - Supreet K Singh and Tania Echaporia
Kenya - Jane Anyango
Trinidad & Tobago - Nicole Joseph Chin
The Philippines - Maya Tamayo
Croatia - Dunja Bonacci
Guatemala - Maria Lidia
Nicaragua - Xiomara Diaz
Romania - Cristina Horia
Nigeria - Tessie Nkechi Udegboka
Brazil - Samara Castro
Malaysia - Radziah Radzi
United States - Sophie Sandberg
Representing all global partners, the Collective Action Award was accepted by Elsa Marie D’Silva and Jane Anyango at Vital Voices 2024 Global Leadership Awards.
Film directed and produced by Queen Latifah's #QueenCollective, a female filmmakers initiative in collaboration with P&G and Flavor Unit Productions.
