The She’s A Crowd platform was developed in 2018 after Founder and CEO Zoe Condliffe identified the huge gap between the number of experiences women and girls had, of being exposed to gender-based violence or harassment, and the amount of data that actually existed on the topic. She’s A Crowd empowers survivors to share their stories without fear of being judged or criticised, while also collecting data on the type, amount and location of gender-based violence around the world. This database of evidence can then be used by decision makers to take action.

CEO of Anatomap, the technology company that powers the Injury Capture app, Simon Franc recognised a lot of synergies between the two platforms. ‘Around 50% of people will never report the crime they suffer, but eight out of 10 people will tell someone else about the incident rather than seeking effective professional help,’ he said.

‘Users of the Injury Capture app have said that just being able to record what happened to them gave them back a sense of power over their own lives, regardless of whether they had any intention of submitting it to the police. She’s A Crowd is doing a fantastic job in encouraging more people to speak out about their experiences of sexual assault, and we want people who are ready to take that one step further, to record evidence that is legally admissible if a civil or criminal proceeding is something they might like to consider in the future.’

She’s A Crowd is the first international organisation that Injury Capture has partnered with, and Simon hopes it will be the beginning of many more, so that victims of violent crime all over the world can access the help and support available to them.

Founder and CEO of She’s A Crowd Zoe Condliffe added: ‘If people are finding the strength to write down their experiences of sexual assault, albeit anonymously on She’s A Crowd, partnering with Injury Capture is a great way of letting them know there are options to take it further if that is something they choose to do.’
