 ABSTRACT

In India and other nations, there is a growing urgency over women's protection.
Constraints restrict police from responding swiftly to cries for help, which is the main
problem in the way they handle these cases. These limitations include not knowing
where the crime is taking place and even if it is taking place at all. It can be difficult for
the victim to contact the authorities in a quiet and assured manner. This study introduces
a smartphone application called Women's Safety App, which gives women a dependable
means to call the police in an emergency, to help remove these restrictions. The user can
quickly and covertly initiate a call from her phone or by actively engaging with the
device.
Some important points which will help you understand the importance of Women’s Safety

1. Safety: The primary importance of self-defence is for women to be able to protect

themselves against anything that’s unacceptable in terms of social conduct.
2. Confidence: There is nothing more empowering than having the confidence to analyse a
dangerous situation and take actions to overcome them effectively.
3. Empowerment: It empowers women to lead a healthy and fulfilling life by encouraging
them to deal with stressful and dangerous situations independently.
4. Discipline: It teaches discipline which transfers over to all other areas of life. It helps
women be calmer, understanding, flexible, gain body and mind control, be more
responsive than reactive, more observant, and achieve cognitive awareness.
5. Reduces Dependency: Just because you’re a woman, you shouldn’t be asked to travel
with a companion! That’s what learning self-defense does – it makes you independent,
helping you protect yourself in every situation.
6. Health and Fitness: Self-Defense programs are also a fun way of exercising and building
a healthy body, thereby improving physical and mental health.
7. Reduces Discrimination/Sexism: Crimes against women can be curbed in a significant
way when women are empowered to fight back against any discrimination and sexism.
