SafeWomen

Abstract

The security of women is of prime concern around the world. Women feel insecure while traveling out of the home due to the fear of violence. The fear of violence restricts women's participating in different social activities. So instead of becoming a victim of a violent crime such as domestic violence, robbery, or rape, women should call on resources to help her out of that situation. In this paper, the authors develop a women safety device, namely SafeWomen, which helps in reducing the crimes held against women. This is a new approach for providing security to women in any unsafe situation by sending an alert having geographical location along with emergency message to the registered contact numbers so that the incident could be prevented. Also, it can track the current location of the victim just by knowing the IP address of the device she is using. One can also use this system for the safety and security of kids and elderly people just by making some changes in the functionality of the system.
