On Making Public Spaces Safer / Kalpana Viswanath (Safetipin)
Manage episode 328993116 series 3272996
If you are a young woman, who has grown up in a city or travelled to another, you might have been warned about steering off certain areas of the city because they were deemed ‘not safe’. What lends safety to urban areas is not only a matter of data and statistics, but it is also often subjective – relying heavily on how one ‘feels’ while traversing through that part of the city.
Dr. Kalpana Viswanath is the co-founder and CEO of Safetipin, a social enterprise that uses technology and data to advocate for gender inclusive urban spaces and mobility. She is part of Delhi government Women’s Safety Committee and has worked as a consultant with UN Women and UN Habitat. She is also a member of the Advisory Group on Gender Issues (AGGI) at UN Habitat, Board member of SLOCAT, ICPC and Jagori.
