137 is an Argentinian national public help line for people suffering domestic and/or sexual violence. This line was born in 2017 from a 2016 national help programme Las Víctimas contra las Violencias (Victims against Violence).
As part of my mid master's thesis in Data Science for the University of Buenos Aires, I intend to explore the available datasets with phone calls reporting and requiring assistance in cases of sexual violence between January 2017 and July 2021. My goal is to provide new insights regarding gender and sexual violence as well as explore the possible (positive) consequences that could derived from these kinds of public programmes in the path to exposing, understanding, and neutralizing sexual violence.
