Hello Datameet members, My name is Rohini and I am a member of The Bachchao Project collective.
We have a licensed dataset of the permissions required by mobile phone safety apps: http://thebachchaoproject.org/evaluating-safety-buttons-on-mobile-devices. The data was collected in early 2017 and has not been updated since. Most of the apps in the set are either run or endorsed by law enforcement departments in India as "women's safety apps". The rest are the most popular personal safety apps in India and abroad. (E.g: Circle of 6). This dataset was created as part of a pilot project on the efficacy and privacy concerns of mobile-phone safety applications in India. However, the project never took off, so we couldn't move to the phase of analysing it and writing our findings. If you would like to make use of this dataset independently or while collaborating with us, please email me off this list. For context, here is an article I wrote about safety apps: https://www.genderit.org/feminist-talk/womens-safety-there-app Thanks and regards, Rohini On Sunday, 21 July 2019 18:02:13 UTC+5:30, Thejesh GN wrote: > > I think quite a few of DataMeet members will be interested in this. > > Regards, > Thej > > Thejesh GN ⏚ ತೇಜೇಶ್ ಜಿ.ಎನ್ > http://thejeshgn.com > > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: Supriya <te...@agamihub.org <javascript:>> > Date: Mon, 15 Jul, 2019, 2:43 PM > Subject: Applications now OPEN: Data for Justice Challenge 🎉 > To: Thejesh <i...@thejeshgn.com <javascript:>> > > > Dear Thejesh, > > The applications for the Agami Data For Justice Challenge are now open! > > The Challenge is drawing on a simple idea: researchers, journalists, civil > society organizations, law firms and companies have invested significant > time and resources in the creation of valuable datasets in the field of law > and justice.
