Abstract
HarassMap is an Egyptian organisation that works to create an environment where sexual harassment is not tolerated, and where individuals and institutions take action against it. For the purpose of this project, the project team cleaned up, organised, and made openly available for the public to access and use through a web portal, three main types of data: Crowdsourced reports of sexual harassment incidents (reports on HarassMap’s online reporting and mapping system) - CSV and XLS Field data from HarassMap’s research on sexual harassment using traditional qualitative and quantitative research methods - DOCX, PDF, SAV, MP3 Social media conversations (comment threads and messages related to sexual harassment on harassMap’s Facebook page) - XLS The social media data was collected retrospectively from our Facebook page during the project period and covers the period 2010-2016. The crowdsourced data and the research data was cleaned and organised to make sure it is usable for the public but still kept in its raw format. During the collection and organisation period, we also made sure to clear out all personal identifiers from the data to ensure anonymity and confidentiality, and prepared descriptions of each dataset that will help the public understand how the data was collected and how it can and cannot be used. The data is stored online on a web portal that we built together with a web developer during the project period. On the web portal, the data is available for the public to view, search and download for research or other purposes. The data is also backed up on a hard drive and the cloud. The web portal and HarassMap open data will be advertised on our website, and the direct link shared with our contacts and others who approach us with interest in our data.

The web portal and HarassMap open data will be advertised on our website, and the direct link shared with our contacts and others who approach us with interest in our data
The data includes crowdsourced reports that we receive online, reports, comments and messages that we receive on social media, and field data from research projects
Summary
Will these formats allow for data re-use, sharing and long-term access to the data?. The data will be in different formats, such as XLS, docx, PDF/A, sav, and MP3. These formats are easy to re-use as long as researchers are able to work with the software. The data that will be collected from the field, the file’s name will include “Field data”, with indication for type whether this data is questionnaire or guideline, audio, report, stories, or interview transcription. The data that will be collected from our social media platform, the file’s name will include “socialmedia_ FB” for data from Facebook, and “socialmedia_ TW” for data from twitter. There will be text descriptions with information about how each dataset is organised
