Problem
On college campuses, a significant number of sexual assaults go unreported, and a high percentage of reported assaults are committed by repeat offenders. Survivors often lack a safe and supportive mechanism to come forward, assess whether their perpetrator has harmed others, and explore their options without facing additional trauma or risks of defamation.
Solution
Callisto provides an encrypted platform, Callisto Vault, that empowers college campus survivors of sexual assault. The platform enables survivors to securely document their assault and, if they choose, discover whether their perpetrator has harmed others. This matching system offers a safe alternative to formal reporting, helping survivors make informed decisions about their next steps, whether that involves reporting or not. Callisto Vault aims to increase the likelihood that serial offenders are held accountable while protecting survivors' privacy and well-being.
Target Audience
The primary audience is college students and campus survivors of sexual assault seeking a safe, secure, and empowering way to document their experiences and connect with others who may have been harmed by the same perpetrator.
