Free Space
Free Space (port. "Espaço Livre") is a mobile application and web platform that seeks to record cases and events of aggression against LGBT+ people. It was developed by Catraca Livre in collaboration with Microsoft during the Cultural Turn in São Paulo in 2016. Both in the app and on the web, this platform allows recording the events of verbal or physical attacks or other types of discrimination on a map, indicating whether it was a public or private space and the kind of aggression suffered. The data is added to generate a heat map that allows to identify the most unsafe areas and places for the LGBT + community. To protect the identity of users, the record of attacks is conducted anonymously.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
