Talk: Callisto: A Privacy-Preserving Approach to #MeToo
Abstract: Callisto is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco that builds technology to combat sexual assault, empower survivors, and advance justice. Three years ago, Callisto launched its sexual assault reporting platform on college campuses. Now, Callisto has launched a new product to support survivors of sexual assault and coercion in the tech industry. From there, they will grow to support every survivor of sexual assault, professional sexual coercion and child sexual abuse in the United States.
Anjana Rajan, the Chief Technology Officer of Callisto, focuses on the question: how can we stop the spread of serial sexual violence while protecting the privacy and civil liberties of sexual assault survivors? In this talk, she will discuss Callisto’s cryptographic, information security, and legal approach to protecting survivors’ privacy while solving an important social justice crisis.
