EduGuard – Mobile Application for Sex Education and Sexual Harassment Reporting for Sri Lanka

The lack of comprehensive sex education for Sri Lankans and inadequate systems for reporting sexual harassment are significant problems in the current society. These issues lead to limited awareness, compromised safety, and poor health outcomes. Many individuals lack access to accurate information and resources, exacerbating the risks associated with sexual health and safety. Addressing these gaps is crucial for fostering a well-informed and secure community. In this research, we introduce Eduguard, a mobile application aimed at improving sex education and sexual harassment reporting in Sri Lanka. This comprehensive approach addresses significant gaps in education and safety, promoting awareness and health through advanced technology. Eduguard features four key components: an age-appropriate sex education platform using face recognition, a sexual harassment reporting system utilizing voice recognition for discreet reporting, a blog and questionnaire platform with Natural Language Processing (NLP) for content filtering, and a sexually transmitted disease detection module employing image processing for early diagnosis. In conclusion, Eduguard represents a pioneering solution that combines education, safety, and health through the use of advanced technology. Its impact is substantial, offering a replicable model for regions facing similar challenges.
