Anti-Molestation: An IoT based Device for Women’s Self-Security System to Avoid Unlawful Activities

Abstract

Now-a-days, the public, mostly women and children are facing much harassment from the societies. The unlawful activities against ladies and children have been increasing significantly, and regularly we find out about eve-teasing, sexual assault cases, and attempt to molest or even killing after rape in public places or open areas. Also, many cases had gone unwarranted due to short pieces of evidence. In Bangladesh, the current statistics of sexual assaults and various unlawful activities are proliferating. To acknowledge these problems, in this paper, we have designed an IoT-based (Internet of Things) embedded device that is able to communicate with the law enforcement agency by dialing "999" (An Emergency Telephone Number in Bangladesh) on demand. The device contains Arduino Pro-Mini Microcontroller with a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) module and can send SMS (short message service) with the victim's present area to the law enforcement agency and relatives via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services). The proposed device's form factor is too tiny to carry out easily at anywhere and anytime. The device features the "Plug & Play" functionalities, which means one button to operate the entire device. Also, the device is costeffective so that people of every level can afford it at a reasonable price.

Study on Iot Based Women Safety Devices With Screaming Detection and Video Capturing

“…The application server will then instantly share the geocoordinates position to the relative and emergency cell phone number via the SMS system, the microphone, and speaker are the added function, used for transferring the voice from the safety device to protecting agency. Dhiraj sunehra et al [9] designed and developed a wearable security device for women. The gadget will be triggered by the use of a panic button alert, in which a push button or panic button, GPS, and USB webcam are attached to the raspberry pi (version 3).…”
