Making Bogota a safer place for women with citizen participation.
The lead agencies for the project are the District Secretary for Women, Bogota and ALS SafetiPin. The project is supported by UN Habitat, Cities Alliance and The Observatory of Women and Gender Equality of Bogota.
One of the greatest challenges of public policy in general, and of public policy for women's and gender issues is the lack of information for decision making. The data based on the audits gathered by SafetiPin in its initial phase (photographic analysis) has allowed the city of Bogota to co-relate with other types of information, for example points having low security with locations having high rate of crimes.
