#17-20 Safe Cities Audits … Safetipin, founded in India, covers 50 cities around the world

As of 2020, the project, now based in Haryana, India, and known as Safetipin, has spread to Latin America, Africa, and much of the Asia-Pacific region.  Their reports can be found at safetipin.com Kalpana Viswanath, described the project in her 2015 address to the International Association of Women in Radio and Television.
