Hero

Every report is one less unreported case.

Saferspaces actively protects those affected — and makes spaces safer for everyone.

What drives us

Making visible what too often stays hidden.

Most incidents are never reported — out of shame, fear, or exhaustion. Saferspaces was built on the conviction that this has to change: that reporting must be possible whenever, wherever, and however people need it.

Anonymous. Low-barrier. For everyone. So that invisible incidents become visible data — and data becomes change.

The current situation

Germany is bottom of the European league.

Racism, discrimination, sexualised violence, and harassment are everyday realities — at festivals, in stadiums, on public transport, at universities, in public space. The numbers are rising, yet most incidents are never reported.

  1. Lack of protection

    In every other EU country surveyed, sexual harassment is explicitly outlawed in both civil and labour law and is prosecuted criminally. In Germany? Only at work. Anyone harassed outside the workplace is left almost entirely without legal protection.

  2. 2 months instead of 3–5 years

    Even if someone wants to act, only two months remain to initiate legal proceedings — for something that often takes weeks just to put into words. In other European countries, those affected have three to five years.

  3. Without a contact point, people wait

    And in Germany, those who wait too long lose every claim. Reforms are urgently needed — but reforms take time. And data that proves the urgency.

The responsibility

Time to act.

Organisers, clubs, and organisations don't have to wait for legal reform. They are responsible for the spaces they run — and for the safety of the people inside them. They have the power to make visible what too often stays hidden.

Own your spaces

Whoever provides space for people carries responsibility for the safety of everyone inside it.

Create the data

Low-barrier reporting channels generate the evidence base needed to drive real change.

Empower those affected

Survivor-centred safety concepts put the people who need protection most at the centre.

Approach

Putting those affected at the centre

Saferspaces flips the perspective: instead of control and surveillance, we build on accessibility and trust. Our system lets affected people contact trained teams anonymously and in real time — via QR code, no app, no personal data.

Anonymity by design

No personal data, no location data, no device identifiers. Anonymity is enforced technically — not just promised.

Maximum accessibility

A smartphone and a camera are enough. No download, no registration, no barrier to entry.

Survivor-centred

Who needs help? What happened? How can we support? — instead of: Who did it? Our questions put support at the centre.

Data-driven prevention

Anonymised analyses make patterns visible: where, when, and what happens. Safety concepts can then be improved with intent.

Saferspaces shifts the principle of security from feeling threatened to feeling supported.
