Community Leaders

Safety Champions

Safety Champions are the heartbeat of the Safecity network, turning data into community action.

Survivors of sexual harassment and assault most often disclose the violation to a peer. That is why we have trained over 5,000 Safety Champions to be first responders, peer supporters and community advocates. Safety Champions learn how to record people’s experiences in the Safecity app, raise awareness about the problem, and facilitate local engagement to improve safety.

Safety Champions commit to at least two months of volunteer work and are supported and mentored by RDFG staff through a WhatsApp group and check-ins.

"Being a Safety Champion means being a voice for those who feel unheard, using data to make that voice impossible to ignore."

Collective Action

The Safecity Alliance

The Safecity Alliance brings together organisations working to strengthen violence prevention through data, collaboration, and shared learning across regions.

Our dozens of Safecity Alliance members gain access to Safecity data tools and can collect their own localized reports of sexual harassment and assault. They receive data monthly and can use it to initiate evidence-based advocacy at the local and national level.

Safecity Alliance members can contribute to shared research, participate in joint events and campaigns like International Anti-Street Harassment Week, and collaborate on advocacy. RDFG staff support the Safecity Alliance members through a monthly virtual group meeting and one-to-one check-in calls.
