UW Women's Center Presents: Kalpana Viswanath- Safetipin Mobile App: Safety for Women in Modern Cities
Urbanization has presented both new opportunities and challenges for populations and governments that thrive in modern cities. Particularly in the context of gender, women have been dramatically affected by access to cities and safety of spaces. Women's right to participate in the city is central to creating gender inclusive societies. Using data collected by a new mobile application called Safetipin, Kalpana Viswanath examines how urban stakeholders can use this information to address issues of women's safety in India and the world over.
