What will be the impact of your idea?
IMPACT: We will create an open-source, mobile platform where women and LGBT individuals can report street harassment and assault worldwide - bringing awareness to these otherwise invisible crimes.
Measuring Impact: Hollaback! will successfully pilot in New York City and track over 2,000 stories of harassment and assault in the first year.
IMPACT: We will launch the first international anti-street harassment organization and will coordinate local grassroots efforts to make public spaces safe for women and LGBT individuals.
Measuring Impact: The code used to build Hollaback! will be made open-source so that Hollabacks will be able to launch worldwide. Each year, Hollaback! will attract at least 20 media hits, publish no fewer than six articles, and present to 15 universities and community groups.
IMPACT: Public officials will develop coordinated plans to keep women and LGBT individuals safe on the streets, buses, and subways in the areas where Hollaback! activist communities exist.
Measuring Impact: Hollaback! will issue a “State of the Streets” report and will meet with elected officials in the communities most impacted by street harassment.
Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?
Hollaback! is a joint project of Oraia Reid, executive director of RightRides for Women's Safety and Emily May, co-founder of HollabackNYC.com. Oraia and Emily are nationwide experts on public safety for women and the LGBT community. They are frequent commentators in the media, appearing as sources over forty times, including ABC, CNN, NBC, the New York Times, and authoring two op-eds in national papers. Oraia has certificates from Harvard and Columbia's Business Schools and is a Junior Fellow at the Nonprofit Leadership Development Institute. Emily has a Master's Degree from the London School of Economics and is a Progressive Women's Voices Fellow. In 2008, Oraia and Emily launched New Yorkers for Safe Transit (www.nyfst.org), a coalition of community groups dedicated to ending gender-based violence on public transit. Within months of launching, the new organization successfully lobbied the MTA to introduce anti-harassment ads on all NYC lines. Oraia and Emily's work unites three key strategies for ending street harassment under one roof: direct service, reporting, and advocacy.
How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)
We have met with several developers to price out the project. Our lowest estimates to date price the project at $8,000 for the Iphone Application, $10,000 for the back-end database, and $7,000 for the website redesign. The technology is estimated to total $25,000. Currently, we are an all-volunteer staff but we are fundraising separately to hire a full-time employee to manage the project. To date, we have secured $1,000 from the Barnard Center for Research on Women. RightRides for Women’s Safety is the fiscal sponsor for this initiative. The award-winning nonprofit offers free, late-night rides home to women and LGBTQ individuals in NYC and is currently expanding nationwide.
