Bumble India Safety Guide
Red Dot Foundation and Bumble India are pleased to bring you the Stand for Safety, Online Safety guide. Online harassment is an epidemic all over the world, including in India. A recent nationwide survey by Bumble India found that 83% of women have experienced online harassment of some kind, with 1 in 3 reporting that they experience it weekly. And it’s worsened since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, women in India report: 70% say they believe cyberbullying has increased since lockdown began.
As a result of this digital abuse epidemic, well over half (59%) of women we surveyed in India said they feel unsafe. No one should have to feel afraid of harassment online, nor should they — as 1 in 3 women reported — put on a brave face and let this behaviour slide for fear of retribution.
The Stand for Safety safety guide to help our community identify, prevent, and combat these common types of digital abuse and harassment.

Safecity Global Digital GBV Toolkit
A collaborative effort between United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Intercultural Innovation Award Alumni, On Our Radar based in UK and Safecity, resulted in a digital GBV toolkit. The aim is that women and girls, men and boys understand the nuances of gender-based violence, familiarise them with international legislation and equip them with resources they can use. There is a directory of audio stories that are being collected so that people can understand this kind of violence better and be sensitised about it. We will continue building these resources that can be used globally. Please do get in touch with us if you would like to know more.
