Description
This insightful book explores how non-profit advocacy, thought-leadership, and technological innovation are helping to highlight the full prevalence of sexual and gender-based violence and develop local, evidence-based solutions on the global stage.
Using the journey of the Red Dot Foundation and its flagship web application Safecity, this book outlines how the 55,000+ stories captured on the Safecity app are linked to criminology literature that uses place as a unit of analysis. Using examples of successful interventions conducted by the Red Dot Foundation and how these processes utilize critical research practices, it also presents how technology is being used to leverage theory and practice that can eliminate sexual and gender-based violence.
Providing detailed explanations of cases and outcomes of gender-based violence, this book will be of interest to academics of criminology, gender studies, women's studies and violence and abuse studies as well appealing to social organisations and practitioners in these fields.
