Safecity - crowd sourcing at its best

I am a mentor with the Cherie Blair Foundation. I highly recommend this organization - the mentor/mentoree training is terrific and the opportunities to gain & give global perspectives is beyond measure.

One such view came to my inbox this weekend. Violence against women & children should not be tolerated anywhere. All help, good words, actions or ideas are necessary. Mentoring can help. Sharing information can help.

Think about being a mentor with CBF. Or simply support folks like Safecity. No matter how much time or effort you have to give, it will all make a difference.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to give you some updates from my organisation Safecity which
documents sexual violence in public spaces in India through crowdsourced
data and technology.

We were recently featured in the Guardian
<http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/aug/13/can-the-safecity-app-make-delhi-safer-for-women#comments>,
Tech in Asia
<https://www.techinasia.com/tia-podcast-solving-sexual-violence-india-technology-art/>
and
the Aspen Ideas Festival <https://youtu.be/qYBjCjCawwU>

Please also support our crowd fund on indiegogo
http://igg.me/at/safecity/x/11587599 and request if you can pass on to your
networks.

A big thank you to my mentor Lorraine Hendrickson who has been a great
support to me.

I am happy to discuss collaboration with other organisations working on
gender based violence.

Kind regards,
Elsa
