Abstract : To ensure the fast and rapid development of smart cities, one of the foremost matter of concern is safety for women and children which has been a critical concern for the country. Even though many regulations, laws, devices and applications have been developed that do function to an extent, there hasn’t been any decrease in crime rate against women. It is sad that even though equal rights are there for both men and women, the latter are always in fear because of the former, especially in India where women are considered goddesses. We have come with an approach which makes the chances of saving the victim better. We have employed the use of a powerful Raspberry Pi for this. The Raspberry Pi can capture images and videos of the assaulter which would be safely uploaded to Google Drive or Cloud for later retrieval while producing evidence. A smart push button-based model is developed which makes the victim call for help through her fingertips. The button system along with a GPS/GSM Module helps in alerting the emergency contacts or the police by sending an alert message, the latitude and longitude coordinates, along with the location on Google Map. A shock gun model is also attached which helps the victim to sustain until help arrives. A buzzer system is also included which can alert nearby people, with a loud sound to gather their attention. The entire device would be encapsulated such that the button can be pressed from a regular usage handbag.
