Amid a surge in kidnappings and disappearances, Madagascar's National Police has introduced a new online reporting platform. The platform, presented Tuesday in Anosy by Public Security Minister and Police Inspector General Erick Michel, will allow citizens to report gender-based violence (GBV) and cases of missing persons and children. This initiative comes days after a national day of mourning declared on July 24 following several kidnappings and murders that shocked public opinion. In response, authorities announced strengthened security measures and new resources to improve collaboration between the public and law enforcement. Developed by the Information Systems and Communications Directorate (DSIT), the platform is freely accessible 24/7 at https://www.vbg.pn.gov.mg. It is available on computers and smartphones via an Android application, with interfaces in Malagasy and French. According to the minister, the platform modernizes National Police services and facilitates reporting. The platform offers victims and witnesses an official, fast, and secure channel to submit information while guaranteeing data confidentiality. Users can report various forms of gender-based violence—physical, psychological, sexual, economic, or online. Cyberviolences including internet harassment, non-consensual image sharing, sextortion, online defamation, personal data disclosure, and AI-generated deepfakes are also covered. The platform also allows reporting of missing children, adults, and persons with albinism. Police Commissioner Tovohery Hajanirina Randriamanohisoa, director of information systems and communications, stated that reports can be filed anonymously. Filers can track their case progress using an automatically generated reference number. Information collected will be processed by specialized National Police units before being forwarded to competent agencies, including the Women's Community Policing Brigade (BFP), the Morals and Child Protection Police (PMPM), or the cybercrime unit. By presenting this platform, authorities aim to encourage citizens to report violence and disappearances without fear, improve victim support, accelerate searches for missing persons, and strengthen efforts against insecurity.
