Shield Her - A Women’s Safety Application

Abstract

Women’s safety remains a major concern in India and across the world, particularly when traveling alone at night or navigating unfamiliar locations. In many emergency situations, immediate access to help becomes difficult due to physical or communication constraints. To address this issue, we propose an Android-based mobile application designed to provide real-time assistance to women in danger. The application enables users to send emergency alerts, including location-based SMS notifications, to registered contacts and authorities at the press of a button or through voice commands. Developed using the Android SDK and Java, the system integrates GPS tracking, messaging services, and voice recognition to ensure hands-free operation during critical moments. This solution aims to enhance personal security by reducing response time, enabling rapid support, and providing a reliable technological safety mechanism for women.
