The Problem
Shalini, a young girl from Satara district, India, faced a daunting journey to school via a crowded minivan where she and her friends were subjected to harassment by men and boys. Catcalling, touching, groping and inappropriate behavior in the mini-van and outside their school further added to their distress. Shalini and her friends stopped their education, fearing for their safety.
Intervention
When Shalini and her friends connected with Safecity, they realized that their experiences were not isolated incidents. Empowered by data-driven insights, they decided to take a stand against harassment. Together with Safecity, they approached their parents and made a representation for safer transport as they wanted to return to school.
Impact

Safecity's advocacy efforts led to the introduction of girls-only mini van, providing a safer transport alternative. Empowered by these changes, Shalini and her friends found the courage to return to school, reclaiming their right to education and public spaces.
