SafetiPin reaches Latin America

The spanish version of SafetiPin was launched today in Bogota by the Secretary, Ministry of Women.  The city plans to use Safetipin to capture safety.  This follows the successful ‘safety walk’ using SafetiPin, organised by UN Habitat in New York.

Martha Sanchez, district secretary of Women, Bogota, said that through the application, users can "record in real time the sites they perceive as unsafe, or disclose situations of harassment, abuse and threats against them."

Speaking on the occasion, Kalpana Viswanath co-Founder of Safetipin said “We are delighted that the city of Bogota selected SafetiPin as their safety app and will be using Safetipin safety audits to improve safety in the city”.

Said Ashish Basu, co-founder SafetiPin “This is the first time a social app developed in India is being launched in a Latin American country.  We expect many more countries to deploy SafetiPin to promote community involvement in safety”
