Abstract

Every day, there are a growing number of crimes against women, including eve teasing, sexual assaults, and domestic abuse. To address the issue of personal security, we are introducing “Surakshit”, a smartphone application that provides a simple solution. With just one click, the app utilizes GPS to instantly detect the user's location, sends a message containing the location URL to registered contacts, and initiates a call to the first registered contact for immediate assistance during dangerous situations. We will be tracking the user's location all the time using Google map API. Continuous tracking of location and position enables the safe rescue of victims.
