Design and Development of an Android Based Application for Women Safety

Abstract

In the present world, it is dangerous for anyone to go alone at night, especially ladies. Knowing what resources are available to us in dangerous situations and using them to our advantage is an excellent strategy to ensure the safety of women and lower your risk of becoming a victim of violent crime. By having safety software on our phone, we can lessen risky situations and provide aid when we need it. This program can be used as a safety or preventative measure, unlike the other existing applications, which only function in an emergency or when there is a danger. A proverb goes that “Precaution is better than cure”. So taking the first steps is the right choice. Nowadays we're living in a technology-based era. We depend on it and also couldn't think a single moment without it. Women in Malawi and Swaziland show the most concern about violence and harassment at work, with up to 75% of female workers in some nations sharing this issue. According to the World Risk Poll, workplace violence and harassment have a similar prevalence among men and women, affecting close to 11% of female workers globally. That's why we want to develop this android application. With the help of it a girl can feel safe.
