Design and implementation of a rescue system for safety of women

Abstract

In recent years, acts of assault and violence against women are rising at a menacing rate. With escalation of female employees in industries and other sectors of the commercial market, it is now becoming a necessity for females to travel at late hours and visit distant and isolated locations as a part of their work regime. However, the exponential increase in assault, violence and attacks against women in the past few years, is posing a threat to the growth and development of women. Defense isn't the only measure that can suffice against this increasing abuse. A security solution that creates a sense of safety among women needs to be devised. In instances of attack, it is largely reported that women are immobilized. There is thus, a need of simpler safety solution that can be activated as simply as by pressing a switch and can instantly send out alerts to the near ones of the victim. In this paper we intend to design and implement such a system in the form of a partial wearable and partial portable system.
