Shift is a multi-platform design project that addresses the silent epidemic of everyday public harassment - groping, catcalling, stalking, and other behaviors that are often brushed off as “normal” in Indian cities. But they’re not normal. They’re a violation. And they happen all the time, especially to young women stepping into independence, navigating campuses, commutes, and city life on their own for the first time.
Through a reporting app, seminar series, and awareness campaign, Shift creates a safe space to talk about unsafe ones. It offers tools to report incidents (whether to institutions or just to your own memory), learn about rights and red flags, and share stories in a way that feels validating, not performative.
