Intelligent Safety Application for Women: Survey

Computer Engineering

Women’s safety has been a major concern and a very important task for everyone. Sexual violence against women has become one of India’s most important public safety issues. Cruelty to women can be eliminated with the help of our application “Nirbhay”. These issues include not knowing where the crime is, and not knowing at all what the crime is: in the abuser’s end, access to the police is certainly a challenge and a wise one. To help eliminate these issues, this paper introduces a mobile app called “Nirbhay” that provides women with a reliable way to make emergency calls to the police. The user can activate the call easily and intelligently by moving his phone, or by interacting directly with the visual user of the app by pressing the PANIC button on the screen. A message containing the user’s location, along with the contact details of the pre-selected emergency contact list, is immediately sent to the police. This paper describes the application, its development, and its technological implementation. “When safety and security are at stake” the Smartphone becomes a powerful tool to prevent violence against women. Keeping this in mind, the apps are designed to provide comfort to the person in distress. And the small amount of development proposed in this paper, adds to the better performance of these devices and leads to better safety for women.
