Collect location-based input on where, when and why women feel unsafe.
FOR MUNICIPALITIES
Local insight into where, when and why women feel unsafe
Vrouwveiliger supports municipalities with local research into women’s perceived safety in public space. We translate residents’ input into anonymised analyses, maps and policy-oriented insights and can track developments over time through repeat measurements.

AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF INSIGHT
Not every experience appears in existing sources
Police and enforcement figures, reporting channels, safety monitors and neighbourhood knowledge each show part of the picture. Not every experience is recorded, even though women may change their routes, timing or behaviour. Vrouwveiliger adds location-based insight into perceived safety — not as a replacement, but as a complement to existing municipal sources.
- Experiences not reflected in incident or reporting data
- Patterns by location, time, surroundings and context
- Additional insights alongside safety monitors, neighbourhood knowledge and existing records
POLICY CYCLE
From local exploration to monitoring and adjustment
Vrouwveiliger supports municipalities throughout the policy cycle: by showing what is happening locally, analysing patterns and measuring again after implementation how perceived safety develops. The findings provide a basis for evidence-informed policy choices and further adjustment.
Analyse patterns and context
Map differences between places, times and circumstances and relate them to existing municipal sources.
Support policy choices
Use the insights alongside other evidence when considering design, supervision, enforcement, prevention and other interventions.
Measure again and adjust
Repeat the measurement after implementation, compare patterns over time and identify where adjustment may be needed.
This turns perceived safety from a one-off snapshot into a recurring source of information within the municipal policy cycle.
OUTPUT
What municipalities receive
Depending on the research question, the municipality receives a combination of anonymised analyses, maps, charts, reports, policy-oriented recommendations and comparisons over time.
Heatmaps
Location patterns and concentrations
Charts
Time, context, surroundings and perceived causes
Reports
Evidence-informed interpretation and policy-oriented recommendations
Comparison & monitoring
Differences between periods, areas or repeat measurements
METHOD V
From insight to evidence-informed policy choices
Method V connects lived experience, analysis, insights and policy choices. The analysis does not prescribe one solution in advance: depending on the pattern, design, supervision, enforcement, prevention, awareness or specialised partners may be relevant. AI can support the organisation of patterns; conclusions and recommendations are reviewed by Vrouwveiliger.

Start with a clearly defined research question
A municipality does not need to implement its own app, dashboard or technical infrastructure. Vrouwveiliger provides the public app, research implementation, analysis and reporting. An initial study can start with a defined scope and later be repeated or expanded.
- Municipality-wide research period
- Specific neighbourhoods or routes
- Station areas or nightlife districts
- Comparison between times or areas
- Repeat measurement after a measure, campaign or redesign
