PIN THE CREEPS


 If you have been sexually harassed or abused in public spaces in Nepal, please share your story with us on this crowdmap. You can report anonymously in under 2 minutes.  

Social Empowerment By Empowering women (SEEW) along with Safecity India (Safecity.in) are mapping harassment in Kathmandu. With the data gathered we hope to be able to push for safer transportation for women. .We are glad with the overwhelming response thus far. Please continue to submit your experiences of harassment and abuse on www.safecity.in
Safecity is an online platform created to map areas of sexual abuse- ranging from comments to physical abuse and rape. All it requires is to fill a simple form about the location where the abuse occurred and the category of abuse (it can be filled anonymously as well). This gets plotted on a map and in time will create “hotspots” or unsafe areas of a city.

As the numbers of pins grow, this converts into a hotspot. The larger the number of pins, the more prominent the hotspot is. This information can be used

  1. By individuals to check potential safe and unsafe areas
  2. By the law enforcement agencies to increase security measures in unsafe areas
  3. By local businesses in the hotspots to be more aware and help change the situation
