Safe Yelli is a project that allows for victims of catcalling, assault and other forms of street-harassment in Bengaluru to directly report an incident. These incidents are then marked on an interactive map that serves as a visual diary of incidents for the residents of Bengaluru.
- [Prototyped] Street Illumination tracker Android app
- [Prototyped] Multiple Platform data aggregation. Why should people report only through the web form? Why can't they tweet or text?
- [In Progress] Telegram Bot
- [Prototyped] Twitter Scraper
- [Concept development] Sidewalk tagging using ML
- Security through mobility, not just in mobility
We are beginning to have conversations with our neighbours, colleges in Bengaluru and other residents to understand how harassment is viewed. We have a very student specific lens of seeing this issue. Who are the most affected? How do certain age groups and communities view this? What work is being done by the police and NGOs?
The technological frameworks used to create Safe Yelli are simple, fully featured services that can be easily adapted.
- A static form powered by Netlify.com is used to collect and categorise reports.
- The data is drawn into a map using the R programming language and then generated into a website using Hugo, a static site generator.
- Zapier is currently used to link Netlify Forms and Google Sheets
