Why We Built This, and How It Works
SafeSide exists so a woman anywhere in Pakistan don't have to find out the hard way that a driver has a pattern. We're building a shared memory, searchable by plate number, useful no matter which app he's driving for. Out of experiences women are already having but have never had anywhere to put.
How we keep reports honest
Every report is written in the reporter's own words, describing what actually happened to them. Not accusations, not rumors, not something they heard secondhand. Before anything gets posted, a moderator reviews the report to ensure authenticity.
24 to 48 hours, not instant
Reports don't appear the second they're submitted. They sit in review first while we check that nothing private slipped in and that it reads as an honest account, not a conclusion. We'd rather be a little slower and get that right.
We don't want to know who you are
We never ask for your name, phone number, or email address. Our human verification check simply confirms you are a real person, without requiring any of your contact details. Reports are published under anonymous identifiers, and no contact details are stored with them.
How reports are reviewed
Before a report is published, a moderator checks that it appears to be a first-hand account, describes observable behaviour rather than conclusions, makes no unsupported allegations of criminality, contains no personal details like CNIC numbers, addresses, or full phone numbers, and reads as an honest account rather than an attack.
Moderation checks publication rules, not truth. Moderators do not investigate whether an incident happened, and SafeSide does not verify legal claims. A published report is the reporter's own account, and the driver's dispute gives the other side of the story equal space.
