Reporting tool and a database of misogyny and male violence
The Misogyny Archive is online!
Misogyny Archive is a website where you can report any man who is known to indulge in misogynistic behaviour. You can choose multiple categories, from verbal, online, sexual, violent, spiritual. There’s currently 25 categories listed, with descriptions of what all of them entail. You’re also able to contribute information, that would help other women recognize the misogynist, and give them an option to make informed decision regarding this individual.
Our hope is that, by reporting the men we know to be dangerous, misogynistic, potentially violent and sexually predatory, by linking their locations, we could start drawing the lines between the anonymous assaults, anonymous stalkers and attackers, and figure out which men are most likely to be behind them. Women are encouraged to report and describe anonymous predators as well, and it’s possible some of their descriptions will match with those whose names are already reported!
The website is meant to be a resource and a database used for women to be able to make informed decisions, stay safe, be protected from the known predators, and aware of what men in their life are capable of doing, behind their backs. We also hope it will help us catalogue, track, analyze and keep track of the number of misogynistic crimes, and their severity, and give more detailed picture of the dangers we currently live in. This is up to the reporters, and depends on how used and utilized this website is!
This project is created by Inna, the developer, who worked for months to create the database from just an idea. We worked together on figuring out the fine spots, covering the questions of backups, security, functionality. We’re both excited to have it finally up and running, and we hope you’ll go and report everyone you can, everyone you feel you are safe from. Because as much as we’d love to, we can’t make a website only women can access, so if someone you’re reporting could guess it’s you, and try to take revenge, don’t mention him by name, or wait until you’re completely safe! The site is only working to protect women, for as long as it brings no women in danger.
I also want to note that giving the identifying information is optional. If you feel safe reporting only the crime, do it. If you feel safe only reporting the location and what happened, do that! You can always make a new report later, when it’s safe.You will never be asked to identify yourself.
