App Empowers Groping Victims

Data shows that about 90 percent of groping victims in Japan are reluctant to report the assault or even seek advice, and 45 percent of people who witness the crimes do nothing about it. 2 women who run a tech firm have set out to change the thinking around this deep-rooted problem. They launched an app that empowers victims by giving them a platform to document their experiences. The app also allows witnesses to file reports. Crucially, the data it collects provides a clear picture of where, when and how perpetrators attack their victims. We take a look at how this technology is helping to raise awareness about a serious social ill.
