Design a Safe Reporting System for Women Experiencing Violence in Nigeria

Most Nigerian women who experience violence do not report it. The barriers are well-known. Design the system that genuinely lowers them.

The brief

Reporting violence against women in Nigeria requires a woman to walk into a police station, face potential re-traumatisation, risk retaliation, and navigate a system that rarely produces justice. Unsurprisingly, most incidents go unreported. The data gap makes the problem invisible and the policy response weak. Your challenge is to design a reporting and support system that makes it genuinely safer and easier for women experiencing violence to report, access support, and track their case. The system must work for women with limited smartphone access and low trust in official institutions. Submit: system design, reporting mechanism, how anonymity is protected, what support the survivor receives immediately after reporting, how cases are tracked, which organisations receive reports, and how retaliation risk is mitigated. Judging criteria: 40% survivor safety and anonymity, 30% accessibility, 20% support quality, 10% institutional pathway design.
