Best for cleaning up the city: Hollaback
The Hollaback app is part of an important initiative to report and keep a running record of incidents that occur in nearly any neighborhood. Whether you witness or experience harassment, you can enter your location in the app, and select from a drop-down menu to choose the type of things you saw or went through. There are options like indecent exposure, racism, being followed, verbal abuse, and many other distressing situations. You can share your experiences, as well as look up those reported by others for any area on the app’s map. Those using the app in New York City can also report the incidents through the app to the New York City Council.
