A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
Sexual harassment in Egypt has reached a crisis level. In 2008, 83% of Egyptian women surveyed were sexually harassed, 50% daily. 72.5% were veiled, and only 2.4% sought help from police. 62.4% of men surveyed admitted harassing women, and 61.4% of witnesses to harassment ignored it, with only 0.1% saying they tried to help (ECWR)
Not long ago, Egyptians were proud of the safety and dignity of our streets. Bystanders used to even chase harassers and shave their heads as a mark of shame, and harassment was rare. Yet today, no social consequences for harassers exist, and harassers are most often excused or ignored and victims are blamed instead. New laws have been passed but yield no change since individual police do not consider the issue important and are often perpetrators themselves.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!
In 2009, I heard about Ushahidi and Frontline SMS, which makes it possible for anyone to send reports of harassment by SMS or online, which then get mapped online anonymously. Since 110 of every 100 Egyptians own mobiles, and 1/2 are women, the potential was unprecedented. The NGOs were interested only in advocacy, so as 4 co-founders we developed HarassMap using online technology to support a huge offline community mobilization effort and public campaign.
Reports: Victims tell us what happened online or by SMS, where and help document the problem
Victim services: Contacts for offline lawyers, counseling, self defense sent by autoresponse
Mapping Reports: Our online map communicates the true extent of the problem and breaks stereotypes
Community Outreach: Our volunteers go out each month in their own neighborhoods all over Egypt with printouts of the map to ask shop owners, police and others in the street to stand up to harassers and create protected “Safe Areas” in shops
O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias
We change the social acceptability of harassment that lets harassers harass and keeps victims silent by combining online and offline tools. HarassMap is the first to use Ushahidi to combine online/offline longterm.
1. Reporting: A victim or witness documents the violation by mobile or online. Ex: "Walking on Syria St in Mohadessin yesterday around 6pm and there were 2 boys, around 10 to 12 years old. They were kids so we didnt expect anything. When close to us one of them took his penis out and rushed towards us. Thanks for this initiative. We really hope it will spark the change"
2. Referral: We autorespond to each with info on getting free help from women's NGOs (police reports, lawyers, counseling, selfdefense)
3. Each report is mapped helping us fight inaccurate, widespread concepts about harassment (it only happens in cities or in poor areas or in rich areas or to girls in miniskirts, etc.)
4. Community Outreach teams, led by trained Community Captains, use the map to help mobilize bystanders in their own neighborhoods (people with presence in the streets, police, shops, etc.) to break the silence, reestablish social consequences and revive our tradition of guarding our neighborhoods from harassment by telling harassers to stop. This should never happen again: "Man on motorbike drove up behind me and grabbed me from behind. I shouted at him immediately and he casually drove away. There were about 10 people in the street when it happened, no one did anything about it or even had any reaction. This was right outside my apartment"
5. Public/media campaign

Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?
There are 17 NGOs on the NGO Task Force on Sexual Harassment working on advocacy for a new sexual harassment law and others partnering with the UNWomen’s Safe Cities Initiative on sexual harassment advocacy (both of which HarassMap is a member). The Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights also works on advocacy.
While these groups mainly focus on advocacy, HarassMap is the main group working with society.
Rather than challenging our growth, we partner with them and with other initiatives in order to increase the overall impact of the movement. Ex: We publicize the services offered by the NGO task force; we're members of all networks including Safe Cities; we mobilize our volunteers for and help organize joint activities (art exhibition, open mics, performance of our reports, "salasel").

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?
PARTICIPATION: Since Dec '10, HarassMap received over 800 reports and over 500 men and women volunteered from all over Egypt - rural, urban, rich, poor. Most mobilize people in their own area to change the environment that tolerates harassers. About 8 of 10 people they approach agree to intervene with harassers and make "Safe Areas" in their shop/area that serve as shelters from harassment. Others give pro-bono help in their field or come to us to work together on creative ideas.
Some people who send reports also use our referral to free legal aid, psychological counseling, how to make a police report, self defense classes, etc (in partnership with the NGO task force) that we send by autoresponse.
AWARENESS: We receive over 20,000 pageviews per month. Our Facebook page has over 5000 fans, many of whom volunteer. Media coverage of HarassMap is high, reaching millions, and our events are well attended.
SCALE: We're coaching activists in 15 foreign countries adopting our model.
Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?
We will:
-Expand the number of strong community outreach teams by meeting outstanding demands for training
-Develop and deliver a training curriculum for outreach Community Captains and volunteers to increase their consistency, success and reach
-Train 300 social workers in public schools to do outreach in their schools (requested by them)
-Start work in 6 slum areas of UN Safe Cities

História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos um pouco a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo:
Cairo has been my home since 2004. After experiencing and witnessing repeated harassment, getting no help from witnesses and hearing repeated excuses for harassers - I started Egypt's 1st program on sexual harassment. Later, in 2009, I heard about Ushahidi/Frontline SMS, which can receive anonymous reports and map them online - perfect for breaking the silence on a taboo issue! Since almost all Egyptians own mobile phones the potential for reaching people across all boundaries, cheaply, was huge.
The NGOs weren't interested in the idea, so I assembled 4 Co-Founders to develop HarassMap as an independent, self-funded group of volunteers aimed at changing social tolerance for harassers and reestablishing social consequences for them. The free online/mobile technology lets our voice reach across geographic/social/age barriers to help us organize a huge offline community mobilization effort in streets nationwide. After launch, ideas and effort from hundreds of volunteers flowed in.
