“A Mobile Application for Women’s Safety: Myguard”

This paper addresses the issue of women’s safety, which is a growing concern in many countries, particularly India. The police often face significant challenges in responding promptly to distress calls due to various constraints, including a lack of information regarding the location and existence of the crime. Additionally, women may find it difficult to discreetly and securely reach out to law enforcement. To address these problems, MyGuard, a revolutionary mobile app, has been developed to assist women in feeling more secure in their everyday lives. The app allows users to trigger a panic alert using a preset word with just a few taps. If the user fails to arrive at their destination on time, the app automatically notifies preselected emergency contacts and the closest police station with their geographic location. This paper provides an overview of the development and technical implementation of MyGuard, which is a game-changer for women’s safety [16].
