 INTRODUCTION
• Women's safety in India is a topic that is being explored significantly these days. It has now escalated into a huge
problem.

• Gender equality, child abuse, sexual harassment, and other issues have gained traction as a result of globalization and
liberalization, and women have been more integrated into mainstream activities, playing a significant role in
socioeconomic development.

• Gender-based violence in urban public settings is becoming more common as the world gets more metropolitan.

• Nearly four years after the ‘Nirbhaya Act’ to prosecute sexual crimes against women came into force, convictions under
the law in India’s startup capital Bengaluru.

• The ambit of IPC Section 354 under the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013, or the ‘Nirbhaya Act’ was widened to
make unwelcome physical contact.

• This encouraged more women to report crimes against them but for many the legal process has remained daunting.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
•The rate of crime is on the rise. Outside or inside the state, women are not safe.
•Women from other countries who are considering visiting India are likewise wary. This anxiety, however, cannot deter them
from engaging in any type of social engagement.
•There are rules, but there should also be sufficient safety measures in place that we must firmly adhere to in order to protect
women from assault.
•The difficulties will not be solved unless the government provides a proper solution to the problems that women face in their
day-to-day lives.
•It is not simple to confront the challenges of new concerns and find ways to overcome them.
•Though she is a woman, she is a human being who wants to live in the same way that men do, with the same freedom of
choice and rights.
•Women must be treated fairly at work, in public, and in educational institutions. “Research on the importance of women's
safety measures in Bengaluru” is the topic of this issue.
NEED AND RELEVANCE OF THE STUDY
•After reading a number of research publications, journals, newspapers, and websites, I discovered that, while researchers have

done a lot of work on women's safety.

•The Government measures, there is a gap in the research on whether women's safety in the workplace, at educational

institutions, and in public places is protected by government measures.

•The current problem is sexual harassment and abuse of women, and this research will assist women in becoming stronger and

more prepared to confront the issue.

•The Government will also use technology to assist in the resolution of all of these concerns by creating awareness Programmes

and Android apps.

•The Government should be aware of women's needs and assist them in obtaining necessary chances. This study will assist us in

comprehending the policies implemented by the Bengaluru administration.

 GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
• CCTV Cameras approval scheme all over the city.

• Suraksha Deep.

• Safety measures by DEPUTY COMMISSIONER of police (South-East) and collaboration with NGO
Durga.

• BENGALURU POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (B.PAC), aims at advocating good governed

practices and policies to improve the quality of life for all citizen of Bengaluru.

• Bengaluru 667 crores invested for women’s safety; city women react.

• Stay safe women SECURITY ANDROID APP.

 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety measures done in Bengaluru for women at work, on public
transportation, and in the PGs where they stay. The most important thing is to protect and safeguard women.

1.To study the significance of women's safety measures in Bengaluru.

2. To analyse the concerns and obstacles that women experience in public areas.

3. To adopt the policies that have been implemented by the government.

METHODOLOGY
The current study, titled "Importance of Women Safety Measures in Bengaluru," aims to examine working women's and female

students' perceptions of women's safety in Bengaluru, as well as their willingness to work in Bengaluru, as well as related

difficulties and challenges.

 STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES,
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
STRENGTHS:
 
 Self-defence

 Government initiatives.

 Police reforms

 To be vigilant and proactive.

 Government immediate actions.

 WEAKNESSES
WEAKNESSES:

 Self-defence is ineffective.

 Punishment for crimes is postponed.

 Unable to use helplines in an emergency.

 OPPORTUNITIES
OPPORTUNITIES:

 Using technique rather than brute strength.

 High pain tolerance.

 Use of public facilities.

 Welfare and awareness programmes.

 THREATS
THREATS:

 Lose hope in a crisis situation.

 Morale must be boosted.

 Stark contrast to the false representations.

 Shelter, washrooms are in poor condition.

 Requirement of safe environment and gender-based violence.

 OUTCOMES OF THE STUDY
•The goal of this research is to learn about the safety measures in place to protect women in Bengaluru and to take preventative measures in

the event of a crisis.

•In this project there are a few methods that will assist and protect ladies in such unfavorable scenarios.

•According to this study, harassment (i.e., unwelcome sexual attention from strangers in public) is a common occurrence among young

adult women, with substantial health effects.

•Self-objectification was found to be positively connected to stranger harassment.

•This was true for women who employed typical coping strategies (passive, self-blame, or benign) to deal with stranger harassment, but not

for those who used an uncommon, aggressive coping strategy (e.g., confronting the harasser).

•Stranger harassment experiences and self-objectification were associated to women's fear of rape and perceived risk. Women who were

afraid of being raped were more likely to limit their freedom of movement.

•The findings imply that stranger harassment might have both direct and indirect detrimental consequences for women's lives.
 LEARNINGS
I learned about women's safety precautions in Bengaluru through the above report. This project describes the issues that

women confront in various locations and circumstances. Domestic violence has increased in both urban and rural areas, so

we must take actions to reduce women's problems.

Women's safety is a severe matter that has worsened in a variety of ways, including mental, physical, and emotional abuse

both inside and outside the house. Education is a key method for communicating women's rights and legality, which leads

to their safety.

"More than 85% of students are enrolled in college, which accounts for 70% of all crimes against women." "At the

collegiate level, it is critical to introduce and emphasize teaching on women's safety," says Hazarika.

The 'Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005' was passed by the Indian Parliament to protect women from

domestic violence.
 CONCLUSION

The focus of this research is on women's issues and the government's safety measures in Bengaluru. Reduced gender disparity in the workplace

has increased women's access to the economy. Women make up half of the world's population, and gender disparity exists in every country. Entire

societies will be doomed to fall short of their full potential until women are given the same opportunities as men. A shift in social attitudes toward

women is the most pressing need of the hour. Domestic Violence Services for Women upholds the notion that the perpetrator is totally responsible

for his use of violence and should be held accountable. We believe that domestic violence is a problem that affects everyone, and that we must all

work to eliminate it. Women's safety in Bengaluru has long been a problem for the country's law enforcement agencies. In India, women

experience rape, sexual molestation, child marriage, and mental abuse, to name a few issues. In India, there are numerous regulations in place to

combat crime and provide a safe environment for women.
