FeelSafe:A Women's Safety and Security System

Women’s safety is regarded as one of the most critical issues faced by women today. Many women feel unsafe when leaving their homes due to the increasing number of crimes in society, such as abuse, harassment, and violence. The business and IT industries are currently thriving, and many women are working in these sectors, often staying late into the night. However, despite these advancements, there remains a sense of insecurity among working women, even during daylight hours. To address this concern, the Women Safety System, called FeelSafe, has been developed to provide women with a sense of security when they are away from home. The system consists of a device equipped with an emergency button. In case of an emergency, a woman simply needs to press this button. Once activated, the system sends an alert message, along with the user’s location, to pre-defined emergency contact numbers. Additionally, the person registered as the emergency controller can manage the system using predefined commands. Timely intervention in such situations can help protect women from abuse or harassment. The system has been tested in various environmental settings and has demonstrated adequate accuracy. A testing scenario is presented in Section IV, which illustrates the complete sequence of actions taken by FeelSafe in response to an emergency.
