The Role of IoT in Women’s Safety: A Systematic Literature Review

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has opened new pathways for enhancing personal safety, particularly for women in vulnerable environments.With alarming rates of harassment, assault, and other forms of violence against women, there is an urgent need to explore proactive technological interventions.This paper systematically reviews the current landscape of IoT-based systems designed to improve women's safety.We examine various wearable devices, mobileintegrated systems, and smart infrastructure solutions that leverage sensors, GPS tracking, and real-time communication protocols.The review identifies the strengths and limitations of current approaches and highlights key areas requiring further research and innovation, such as data privacy, network reliability, and social adaptability.Our findings suggest that while IoT-based safety systems are promising in real-time incident response, challenges related to affordability, user trust, and policy integration need to be addressed to ensure widespread effectiveness and acceptance.
