SAHA -Women Safety Application and Device

Abstract: Women’s safety has become a major concern in today’s society due to the increasing number of harassment and emergency incidents occurring in both public and private spaces. Many existing safety solutions depend heavily on internet connectivity, which may not always be available during emergencies. To address this issue, this paper presents SAHA, a smart women safety system that combines both hardware and software components to provide immediate assistance and reliable monitoring.

The proposed system includes a portable hardware device along with a mobile application, ensuring functionality in both online and offline conditions. The hardware device is built using an ESP32 microcontroller and includes an SOS button, GSM/GPS module, and a buzzer. When the SOS button is pressed, the system sends emergency alerts along with the user’s location to pre-registered guardians through SMS, even without internet access. The buzzer also generates a loud sound to alert nearby people and discourage potential threats.

The mobile application further enhances the system by offering features such as live location tracking, safe zone detection, nearby emergency services, and guardian management. Additional features like fake call, voice-activated SOS, and safety awareness resources help users handle uncomfortable or risky situations effectively.

By integrating hardware reliability with intelligent software features, the proposed system provides fast response, improved safety awareness, and user confidence. The solution is portable, affordable, and easy to use, making it suitable for students, working professionals, and travelers. Overall, SAHA aims to improve personal security by offering both emergency support and preventive safety features.
