SafetiPin is a map-based mobile phone and online application, which works to make communities and cities safer by providing safety-related information collected by users and by trained auditors. At the core of the app is the Women’s Safety Audit. A Women’s Safety Audit (WSA) is a participatory tool for collecting and assessing information about perceptions of urban safety in public spaces. The audit is based on nine parameters – Lighting, Openness, Visibility, Crowd, Security, Walk path, Availability of Public Transport, Gender Diversity, and Feeling.

The station is being converted into an interchange station in the Phase-3 of the Delhi Metro An area of approximately 500m radius around the metro station has been studied and 102 audit pins have been generated. The area towards Kidwai Nagar East is currently being re-developed
therefore, no safety assessment was possible in that area. The area outside the metro entry/exit and the Bus Stop on the East side were studied.
The localities Kidwai Nagar West and Laxmi Bai Nagar were studied in detail.
Safety Audits indicate that the area around the metro station is safe. The parameters of Lighting and Walkpath have been rated Average and Above Average respectively. The availability of Public Transport has been rated Average as in the residential areas it is difficult to access. The parameters of Visibility and Security have been rated poorly. As a result, the presence of people and especially women on the streets is low.
Overall, auditors have rated the Feeling in the area as Average.
