Self Defence Smart Device

Abstract

The “Self-Defence and Smart Device” for Women Safety project addresses the growing concerns over women's safety by providing a dual-purpose wearable solution that combines both self-defence and real-time alert capabilities. The device incorporates a self-defence mechanism in the form of an electric shock system, designed to help women deter attackers in critical situations by delivering a mild electric shock. This physical deterrent provides immediate protection, giving the user time to escape or seek further help. Additionally, the device features a smart alert system powered by a microcontroller. When activated, the device sends an SMS alert containing the user’s GPS coordinates via a GSM modem to pre-designated contacts or emergency services. This ensures that the user’s location is accurately shared, enabling rapid response from authorities or trusted individuals, even when the user cannot verbally communicate. By integrating these two key features- self-defence and real-time location alerts, the project provides a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for enhancing women’s safety. This wearable device offers both immediate physical protection and a reliable means of summoning help, empowering women to navigate their daily lives with greater confidence and security.
