BriefWithProjectedOutcomes
Mexico is the country with the highest level of violence against women and girls.
Every hour there are 2 rapes, 3 homicides and 30 assaults with violence against women, unfortunately this has become common, but it is not normal
They happen and remain unpunished because nobody notices it.
If we put people's eyes on the moment when such a crime is happening, we could possibly avoid some.
CampaignDescription
We developed a portable device that triggers the alarm of the cars that are 25m away.
This device is installed on a car door without affecting the computers of the cars, the alarm system, or the general operation of the vehicles. What it does is to trigger the alarm, thus obtaining the attention of the people in the streets and of the neighbors in their homes, making these crimes visible.
Execution
We developed a device that trigger the car alarms in 25 meters. It doesn’t interfere with the car computer or its alarm, because it is an independent device, what this makes is to send an impulse to the alarm, making it sense that the door were open, so the alarm goes off, after 2 minutes the alarm sensor check again if the car is ok, it perceive that the car door is fine and stops.
The idea with this is to use the insight of people looking from their windows when a car alarm sounds, so we get all the visibility this kind of crimes need, cause the best way to prevent a crime is to act before it even happened.
Outcome
We implemented the idea in a few dangerous neighbors of the city, the results were amazing, in some places the people report that even the criminals had to move from the area.
We’re trying to push this idea to make it a law, so all the city could be a safe place for our women and girls.
Strategy
In recent years violence against women has grown disproportionately; impunity, the authorities indifference and their own inefficiency, are the major responsibles about this situation.
Tracking Systems presents a way in which we as a society can face these types of situations, not leaving them alone at any time.
