The problem HIFAZAT solves

Indian women are constantly in a state of high alert when alone on the streets, at work or in the markets. Also due to India’s predominantly patriarchal nature, domestic violence is known to be culturally acceptable.A heartbreaking total of 31677 cases of rape were reported in the year of 2021. Because of this alarming rate, we decided to create HIFAZAT. This project consists of a band and an application linked to it. The band can be worn as a bracelet or anklet or tucked as a strap within clothes and has a gps tracker and a microphone that is all linked to the app.If the button on the band is pressed thrice,the live loation and the voice around them starts recording. A buffer of one minute is given for false alarms and then the location and voice is directly shared with the nearest police stations at the moment and with the emergency contacts set by the user.The app can also be directly used if a phone is available in case of emergencies and it can also be used to report any other person seen in danger or any unusual things happening in your surroundings.False alarms can be cancelled within a minute simply by putting a pre-set pin into the app.
