Let's be real here, most of the time smartphones get used for a lot of nothing.
But in India women are
using their smartphones to protect themselves by tracking local incidents of
harassment and violence.
Safety websites and apps have been increasingly popular since a woman was
fatally attacked in New
Delhi last December. The 23-year-old student was walking home from the
movies when she was
assaulted and gang-raped. National response has led to wider use of safety
websites, and prompted
four women to create Safecity.in, a forum for discussing harassment with a
"Pin the Creeps" submission
process for real-time updates about the location of incidents.
