Empowering women and men to share stories of harassment

81 percent of women and 43 percent of men had experienced some form of sexual harassment during their lifetime. Reporting harassment and abuse can be a precarious process, but using mobile and crowd-sourced data, we can make it easier for victims to find help and for communities to recognize problem areas.

I have this challenge

the problem

Sexual harassment and abuse in public spaces is a real social problem. We hear about these issues often, and there are many more daily, global personal stories that never get told. There is power in crowdsourced data that could be used to report harassment and track problem areas or trends in specific communities.
