Everyone experiences and navigates the world differently, but women are at higher risk of being harassed and assaulted. Every woman knows that there are certain venues, bars, and restaurants that they avoid in the city in which they live. Não Me Calo (I Will Not Shut Up) is an app and social networking tool that lets women review and rank public venues based on the level of safety they provide for women and girls. Não Me Calo also encourages women to fight for change by using these rankings to pressure business owners and governments to improve security in locations that have received unfavorable reviews.
In April 2015, a jury selected Não Me Calo as the winner of the #hackgirlsrights International Girls' Hackathon
