Design and Development of IoT based Smart Women Security Gadget

Nowadays, the issue of personal safety, particularly regarding women's safety, has gained significant attention. Globally, 35% of women face harassment, like abuse and physical violence, as indicated by a recent survey by the World Health Organization (WHO). The number of victims is gradually increasing. In this section, they present a method that ensures women's protection. The device is portable, enabling users to utilize it whenever they encounter a situation of danger. This paper introduces the concept and deployment of a women's safety device based on IoT, intending to deliver efficient protection functionalities and self-alert. The proposed approach, called the three-phase security model, is especially designed for women's safety. This system provides the monitoring data, safeguard, and affirmation recording. The primary task of controlling the crimes against women is a significant process. For safeguarding the woman, a shock-based device is developed and kept with the woman to prevent the attacker by activating the device using a buzzer button. Additionally, it enables the capture of evidence through a video camera triggered by a button press, maintaining the recorded footage in the Raspberry Pi. The proposed system is integrated with GSM and GPS modules and activated by voice commands in an Android application. If the user says “emergency” in the mobile application, the device will automatically trigger and send the SMS message containing the user's location and call a pre-configured emergency contact number. The GSM module is integrated with a speaker and microphone, allowing the user to listen and communicate with the contact person. The hardware utilized in this setup consists of a Raspberry Pi, relay module, GPS module, nerve stimulator, GSM module, and buzzer. The accurate location of the user can be identified with the GPS, which is based on the victim's longitude and latitude, allowing police to locate the victim quickly, stop the incident from occurring, punish the victim, and save the woman. It becomes possible to remotely track and monitor women's information using the IoT platform.
