ABSTRACT
In today’s world, even though there are so many economic developments in our country, but
crimes against women are equally raising. Since we cannot travel with them all the time,
though it is necessary that they need protection. It is predictable that every single one of them
is having smart phones with them. So this application is to provide security through smart
phones. This paper presents women security an Android Application for the Safety of Women
and this app has so many features like a call is sent on a single shake and message is also
sent to the emergency contacts with the present location of the person in trouble.

In this fast moving world, Women
Security is a major issue of concern. We
have come across so many unfortunate
incidents happening with women and the
rate is rapidly increasing day by day.
Women these days are working women
and the globalization has made us aware of
gender equality. Earlier there were so
many restrictions for women and the major
belief was that they were only meant for
household chores. With the changing
scenario, women are paving paths for
themselves and proving that they are not
less than anyone. We can see women
going to great success levels in all fields,
may it be corporate, scientific, education,
business or any other field. Safety of
women matters very much whether at
home or outside the home or even in the
working place. In recent times there were
so many crimes evolving against women
especially the case in Hyderabad was very
dreadful and fearful. Because of such
crimes, women safety has become a major
topic and it has become a major trouble for
girls in facing the world. According to the
three women have suffered trauma in the
last year. According to the survey of
women, it is found that women are losing
their confidence because of such incidents.
By the survey of Central government’s
Women and Child Development
Department, around 80% of the women in
national capital have fear regarding their
own and others’ lives. There is no time and
place for women getting harassed because
as we have seen every now and then, the
news and reports are really of concern.
Even if it is day or night, young or old
every single women is getting harassed.
Actually women kind of lost their faith in
police officials, if not it are decreasing as
the crime scenes are increasing and when
the criminals get unpunished it makes no
sense to trust the government. There is a
tremendous need to understand and resolve
this problem of women safety so that they
can grow like men. It is a personal safety
product designed to guard you and your
friends for 24/7. It is user-friendly
application and can be accessed by anyone
who has installed it in their smart phones.

 Advancement of Computer Technology and its Applications
Our intention is to provide you with fastest
and simplest way to ask for help. The basic
approach (single click) is to convey the
instant location and a distress message to
the registered emergency numbers, so that
unfortunate incident can be averted and to
provide real time evidence for the action
against the committers of crime. This can
also help the police to reduce the crime
rate against women and the evidence can
be used for tracing the culprits. This
application helps to take preventive
measures as soon as possible during:
 Being stalked while moving.
 Attempt of physical or sexual assault.
 Unsafe neighbors.
 Domestic violence.
EXISTING SYSTEM
There are various number of applications
designed for the safety of women when
they are in emergency situation. The
disadvantages of using these applications
are they only send the alert messages to the
saved contacts but there is no option of
calling. Because of previous systems there
is less possibilities of overcome the
threatening situations of women. Previous
applications also have GPS tracking
system for to track the live location of
women but it has not specific range. In the
existing system there is no image
capturing feature, it should create many
problems for them and the no safety
mechanism to protect the girls from the
inappropriate activities. In addition, in the
existing system there is no alert
mechanism, it should be done by manually
only.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this system, an Android Application is
used to find the location and send the
location to the group of people that are
stored in the emergency contact list.
Initially it gets the name and the number of
the user then it asks for personal details for
the purpose of registration, in which the
HBRP Publication Page 1-4 2020. All Rights Reserved

data entered is assured with absolute
security. Then the registered user can enter
five contact to get in contact with at the
time of emergency, after that the final step
of registration is done with an OTP
verification(to check if the number given
by the user is in use or not). Here the
details given by the user at the time of
registration is stored in the cloud database.
Once the registration process gets
completed a screen is displayed which
consists of two buttons which are PANIC
and DEACTIVATE button. On clicking
the panic button a text message is sent to
the registered contacts with the GPS
location of the user, stating that the person
is in trouble and in need of help. When the
other button is clicked it comes out and
gets to the registration page. Where the
user might meet to reregister in order to
use the application. If the user is in a very
dangerous situation where she might not
have enough time to open the application
and click on the panic button. At that time
a single shake of the mobile phone is
enough, a call is sent to the police. This is
the whole working procedure of the
proposed system.
Authentication
Authentication feature in firebase lets only
the authorized users to access the
application. Firebase provides login
through Phone Number, and also it allows
the developer to customize their own
authentication.
Real-time Database
Database in firebase is a cloud-based
database and does not need SQL queries to
store and retrieve data. Database is highly
reliable thus even if connection is lost the
data is maintained.
Storage
Firebase also provides storage facility. It
can store and retrieve various content like
images, videos and audio directly from
client SDK. Uploading and downloading is

done in the background. Data stores are
safe and secure that only the authorized
user can access it.
Messaging
It is a cross-platform messaging solution
that lets us dependably convey messages at
zero expense. We can inform a customer
that new email or other information is
accessible to sync. We can send
notification messages to drive user re-
engagement and maintenance.
Notifications
It enables destination user notifications for
mobile app developers and the services are
freely available.
Hosting
Hosting of this particular application is
done by the admin. And every single
activity is monitored and hosted by the
admin. The update and retrieval of the
information is processed through a secure
medium. On deactivation the admin makes
sure that the details of the registered
number is removed completely.
RELATED WORKS
Advance Woman Security System based

This android application is based on
security “An Android Application for
Women's Security that provides the
combination of GPS devices as- well-as
alerts message with an emergency button
to Trigger. Whenever somebody is in
trouble, they only have to press volume
key button after that a alert message is sent
to Register Contact list and a Voice Call to
the Number registered first and sends a
message “I AM IN TROUBLE PLEASE
HELP ME”.

"FEMME". This device is concerned with
the security system, specially designed for
women in distress. They use radio
frequency signal detector to detect hidden
cameras.
Design and Implementation of Women
Safety System Based On IoT
Technology
U Jaishree Vidhya, T Pradheepa, K
Ragapriya –April 2019[3]
This covers descriptive details about the
design and implementation of "Smart
band". The device consists of a trigger,
microcontroller (ATmega2560), GSM
module (SIM900), GPS module (Neo-
6M), IoT module (ESP-12E), Neuro
Stimulator, Buzzer and Vibrating Sensor.
In this project, when a woman senses of
feels that she is in danger she has to hold
ON the trigger of the device. Once the
device is activated, it tracks the current
location using GPS and sends emergency
message using GSM to the registered
mobile number and nearby police station.
A Study Based On Women Security
System
A Vaibhav, Ashish Manusmare -August
2017[4]
An unconventional method is proposed for
women security that may serve as a better
alternative to rest of the available security
methods. Here the system is designed
around Arduino micro-controller that uses
GPS, watch, shockwave generation circuit
and an accelerometer for better security.
Smart security system for women based
on Internet of Things
G C Harikiran, Karthik, Suhas Shirol –
November 2016[5]
Humans can't respond competently in
critical situations, the need for a device
which automatically senses and rescues the
victim is the venture. They propose to have
a device which is the combination of other
devices, hardware comprises of a
removable “Smart band” which
Page 3
 Advancement of Computer Technology and its Applications
continuously be in contact with Smart
phone that is provided with the internet.
This generates a signal which is sent to the
smart phone. The application has access to
the tracking and Messaging services which
is pre-programmed or assigned in such a
way that whenever it receives emergency
signal, it can send help request along with
the location to the registered contacts.
CONCLUSION
The women security system application
through smart phones is the helpful tool to
have self-defense for women. There are
many chances available to reduce crimes
against molestation, kidnapping,
harassments, murder etc. Communication
through GPS technology is as of now is
the smartest way to ensure the safety of
women. In future to have legal process the
location information can be retrieved from
the admin’s account in order to process the
legal procedure to get the culprits arrested.
The proposed design will deal with the
issues by keeping the women’s security as
the major concern. This implementation of
the Android Application is to ensure the
safety of women.
