Australian women are stopping walking in public places due to the fact they are scared. One woman had been walking her dog for ten years but stopped due to having things thrown at her and hearing about continuous assaults in the news.
Monash University’s XYX Lab and CrowdSpot believe they can start addressing the issue once they understand what spaces women feel safe in.
An interactive map has been released by the team and they are asking women to share their experiences at any public place by pinpointing a location and anonymously sharing their stories or feelings to advise other women.
