Abstract

Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread human rights violations; studies carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO) determine that this situation has already become a public health problem. Among the types of violence against this sector is street harassment, which threatens the integrity of one out of every three women; its main characteristic is that it is a momentary personal interaction that, nevertheless, restricts the personal integrity of women while they are moving in public spaces. However, there is a lack of detailed or disaggregated information on the behavior of this activity. The information available is generally at the municipality level, which does not allow for a more specific analysis of the urban areas or zones in which these events occur and the specific characteristics of the environment where street harassment occurred. This work presents a proposal that uses non-traditional data sources, such as those generated by citizens, through Voluntary Geographic Information, with the use of focus groups as a research technique to collect data through group interaction from mapping sessions and collaborative mapping within a web application designed to conduct an audit of public space through the participation of users of these spaces to determine their perception of fear from several variables, which give guidelines for the analysis of information from geospatial indicators, in open data schemes.
