Red Dot Foundation aims to make cities safer by encouraging equal access to public and private spaces for everyone especially women and girls, through the use of crowdsourced data, community engagement and institutional accountability. 

Our flagship program is Safecity, a platform that crowdsources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse in public and private 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 that causes behaviour that leads to violence and work on strategies for solutions. 

Our main objective is to: 
- Create awareness on sexual harassment and abuse and get women and other disadvantaged communities to break their silence and report their personal experiences. 
- Collate this information to showcase location based trends and make this information available and useful for individuals, communities and local administration to solve the problem at the hyper-local level. 
- Create safe spaces for innovative projects for violence prevention and community resilience.

We are creating a new data set which currently does not exist. By representing the information thus collected on a map as hotspots, we are moving the focus away from the "victim" to the location and people can view the issue with a different lens. Our anonymous dataset has been used by police, researchers and communities to understand the nuances of sexual violence better, improve situational awareness and implement better policies.

Get in touch for workshops on DEIA, gender sensitivity, POSH Act, POCSO Act, Domestic Violence Act, bystander intervention and programs on youth and women empowerment. We work actively with several Diplomatic Missions, City Goverenments, Police Forces and Corporations to implement public diplomacy programs, safety interventions and CSR projects.
