Improve your safety in the city

The Europeans are afraid of terrorism escalation.  The governments undertake steps which should protect us against the next attack. The Australians also decided to take care of their own safety by the special mobile application and the special website. The residents of Canberra are informed  about dangerous places in their city. 


Empty streets and dark corners can cause anxiety, especially when somebody comes back late at night but thanks to the special website, Canberra residents know which place can be dangerous. 


The website is managed by Women's Centre for Health Matters foundation and financed by Australian government of capital territory. 

The chairman of the foundation underlines that over the years women many times pointed to the fact that even in the public sphere they feel endangered. For this reason WCHM foundation decided to design digital tool in order to gather information about dangerous places in their city. You can access this service directly from the website as well as by the special application. You only need the access to the Internet.  

Thanks to the on-line map users know which ways they should avoid and a signal is sent to the city authorities, what and where should be improved, for example by sending out more  police patrols or improving the lighting in the reported places.
