E-Raksha: Real-Time Women’s Safety System with Smart Location Tracking and Threat Identification

In the current world, the safety of women is a big issue that necessitates immediate reliable and effective solutions to be put in place so that emergencies are dealt with in a prompt and efficient manner. This project proposes E-Raksha, a comprehensive women safety system integrating both software and hardware on an Android platform. With advanced technologies, E-Raksha will empower women to confidently move around their environments. The system utilizes mobile and button cameras for real-time violence detection, coupled with criminal face recognition capabilities, thus ensuring proactive responses to potential threats. This functionality allows the application to analyze video feeds and identify aggressive behaviors or known offenders, providing timely alerts to users. Moreover, the GPS modules and tags allow for precise real-time location sharing, which can be activated by a dedicated hardware button or a smartwatch interface. The feature allows users to send distress signals to designated contacts or emergency services without drawing attention to themselves, a critical function in high-risk situations. It goes beyond immediate safety, as E-Raksha is also enhancing general awareness about surroundings by providing risk assessments on particular locations, using historical crime data. Designing the platform has been made in such a manner that interaction with the website is friendly enough for easy access of safety features during emergency situations. With continuous up-gradation and mechanisms of feedback, E-Raksha aims to change with times according to evolving women’s concerns. Finally, the project looks to contribute toward the greater goal of a better and safer society with empowered women and a conducive environment for women, where they could feel secure and supported. In this light, E-Raksha becomes a technological breakthrough with a very practical implementation that might bring about change in the struggle against violence and harassment.
