SUPER NINA: ICT and artificial intelligence solutions to combat gender-based violence in urban mobility

Problem and implemented solution

Every 4 seconds, there is a case of harassment on Brazilian public transport (Brazilian Public Security Forum, 2018) and 97% of Brazilian women have already suffered harassment in urban mobility (Locomotiva and Patrícia Galvão Institutes, 2019). Given this alarming problem, the question arose: how can we mitigate gender-based violence in urban mobility and make cities safer? Super NINA was created with the aim of combating and preventing harassment and gender-based violence in urban mobility through ICT and artificial intelligence solutions, whose data collection and processing influence governments to promote public policies in favor of safer and more inclusive cities. We provide a standard reporting channel via WhatsApp or any other app, with the aim of standardizing and centralizing reports of sexual harassment in urban mobility. The data collected is made available on a dashboard and assists government agents and private companies in creating public-private policies for urban planning, mobility, and security. In addition, we also offer exclusive consultancy services, which include employee training, communication guidelines, diagnostic research, creation/adaptation of protocols and monitoring of actions.

Description of competitive advantages

Super NINA is an integrated technology that can be part of applications as partners and not competitors. This makes our field of action very broad and easily scalable to any place in the world. It stands out from other similar solutions available on the market especially because it does not end with a reporting chatbot, being the only provider, in Brazil, of consulting services on public policies on security, mobility and gender combined with the implementation of technology to combat and prevent the crime of sexual harassment against women in urban mobility.
