Today in the current global scenario, the prime question in every girl’s mind, taking into account the ever rising increase of issues on women harassment in recent past, is only about her safety and security. The only thought haunting every girl is when they will be able to move freely on the streets even in odd hours without worrying about their security. This paper suggests a new perspective to use technology to protect women. The system resembles a normal WATCH which when activated, tracks the location of the victim using GPS (Global Positioning System) and sends emergency messages using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication), to contacts and the police control room. The system also incorporates a screaming alarm that uses real-time clock, to call out for help. The main advantage of this system is that the user does not require a Smartphone unlike other applications that have been developed earlier. The use of sophisticated components ensures accuracy and makes it reliable. The WATCH provides with all the features which will leave no stone unturned to help the victim in any kind of emergency situations.

Abstract


Today in the current global scenario, the prime question in every girl’s mind, taking into account the ever rising increase of issues on women harassment in recent past, is only about her safety and security. The only thought haunting every girl is when they will be able to move freely on the streets even in odd hours without worrying about their security. This paper suggests a new perspective to use technology to protect women. The system resembles a normal WATCH which when activated, tracks the location of the victim using GPS (Global Positioning System) and sends emergency messages using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication), to contacts and the police control room. The system also incorporates a screaming alarm that uses real-time clock, to call out for help. The main advantage of this system is that the user does not require a Smartphone unlike other applications that have been developed earlier. The use of sophisticated components ensures accuracy and makes it reliable. The WATCH provides with all the features which will leave no stone unturned to help the victim in any kind of emergency situations.
