Enough with Catcalling
Enough with Catcalling (port. Chega de Fiu Fiu) is a digital space that allows women to report cases of gender violence. These include: verbal and/or physical attacks, threats, harassment, rape, domestic violence and sexual exploitation. It also allows citizens to report incidents of racism, homophobia and transphobia. The people who carry out the complaint must indicate the place where the event occurred, and then their testimonies are published on an online map. In addition, they can voluntarily collaborate with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics by completing a socio-economic questionnaire, or indicate whether the complaint was brought before a government agency. As part of this innovation, the Think Olga collective organized an investigation about street harassment in which 7,762 women participated (of which 99.6% had been harassed).
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
