Callisto

What is Callisto?

Callisto is a confidential resource aimed to empower survivors of sexual violence on college campuses. Callisto offers an encrypted platform, Callisto Vault, that enables campus survivors to safely document an assault and/or match with others harmed by the same offender. Survivors can use the platform regardless of who the offender is, when and where the assault took place, and whether or not they choose to report. Callisto’s cutting-edge technology protects and empowers survivors, while increasing the likelihood that repeat perpetrators will be detected and held accountable.

The Incident Log

The incident log is a secure log that allows survivors to document their experiences. Through a series of trauma-informed questions, survivors can navigate questions regarding what has happened to them. These questions are aimed to capture potential questions that may be asked should survivors report to legal options. Survivors will have access to this time stamped log at any time, and can receive a copy with a watermark should they need it for legal reasons.

The Matching System

The Callisto Vault Matching System is the first of its kind. It uses cryptography to determine if others have been harmed by the same offender. Survivors must enter one unique identifier, such as a social media handle, to potentially cross match with other survivors. If there is a match, a Legal Options Counselor will give survivors the opportunity to connect with each other to discuss options.
