Women’s Safety with Smart IoT

This paper presents a comprehensive IoT-enabled women’s safety system designed to provide immediate assistance during emergency situations. The system utilizes GSM and GPS technologies to trigger real-time alerts. When the user presses designated physical buttons or activates the alert through a mobile application, the system sends an SMS containing the user’s real-time geographical coordinates to a set of pre-configured emergency contacts. Simultaneously, it initiates an automatic voice call using the SIM900A GSM module to further ensure that the distress signal is noticed. The GPS module continuously tracks the user's location, which can also be monitored via the mobile application for real time response. The hardware setup, integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller, is compact and wearable, ensuring portability and user convenience. The system has been rigorously tested under real-world conditions to evaluate its responsiveness and reliability. It effectively bridges the gap between user distress and immediate response, making it a practical and scalable solution for enhancing women’s safety in both urban and rural environments.
