Abstract : In the current global scenario, the prime question in every woman’s mind is about her safety and security. The only thought haunting every women is when they will be able to move freely on the streets even in odd hours without worrying about their security. This work suggests a new perspective to use technology to protect women. The wearable system resembles a normal watch with a button. Women can press the button when they feel discomfort and activate the system. The system can also be activated by changes in sensor setup output which is part of the system. When activated, the system tracks the location of the woman using Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor and sends an emergency email to the person who can help or save her. 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 of the system and makes it reliable. Uneven terrains, step fields, sand and gravel, as well as exploring tasks like finding the injured victims and hazardous signs.
