Report it! Stop it! It is a crowd mapping platform where survivors & victims of sexual harassment and assault speak out and map out their ordeals in public spaces to seek redress and support. This platform is an adaptation of the Kenyan-born Ushahidi crowd-mapping software.
The platform was developed to provide data on the prevalence of harassment and violence in the Kenyan public transport spaces and connecting spaces.
So far, the platform has over 300+ reports that have been reported in public spaces, in particular spaces associated with public transport. Reports made on this platform allow city authorities, civil societies and local governments to gain deeper insights and improve situational awareness of the issue. The platform users can identify hotspots where harassment and violence are rampant and might therefore not be safe.
Flone Initiative does not provide emergency medical response services to victims of sexual assault. Report it! Stop it! Has been developed purely for monitoring purposes. For immediate assistance in the event of an assault, please refer to the Helplines page for listings of contact information.
