Abstract: The W-Safe project aims to enhance women's safety and empowerment by leveraging modern mobile technology. Designed as an Android-based application, the app integrates innovative features to provide real-time support during emergencies. Utilizing Android Studio, Java, and XML, the app is built to be both reliable and user-friendly, offering functionalities such as an SOS panic button, live GPS tracking, and access to critical helplines. These features enable immediate assistance and help send location details to emergency contacts. In addition to offering emergency support, the W-Safe app emphasizes empowerment through educational content. It provides valuable resources on women's rights, self-defense techniques, and legal safety tips, aiming to raise awareness and promote long-term prevention. The app also incorporates community-driven features to foster collaboration and enhance social awareness. By addressing the specific safety needs of women, W-Safe recognizes the limitations of traditional safety measures and capitalizes on the widespread use of smartphones. It promotes self-reliance while aiming to create safer environments for women from diverse backgrounds. The app is designed to be scalable, allowing for future updates that may include AI-based threat detection, wearable device integration, and predictive alerts, all enhancing its functionality and adaptability. In summary, the W-Safe project is a mobile technology-driven solution that not only provides immediate assistance but also contributes to long-term empowerment, safety awareness, and social progress. Its scalability ensures that it can evolve to meet the ever-changing landscape of societal challenges.
