Abstract

The present work studies the development and effectiveness of mobile applications meant to improve women's safety, using Android Studio as the major development tool. Considering the global significance of women's safety, this study addresses the need for dependable, quick solutions in both urban and rural areas where women confront harassment and abuse. The objective is to provide a reliable, quick-response tool that enhances personal safety through features such as emergency notifications, real-time location tracking, and siren activation to deter attackers and attract attention. Women frequently face threats to their safety in urban and rural areas, necessitating the development of an Android application with features like emergency calls, real-time location tracking, and siren activation to provide immediate assistance, alert nearby individuals, and empower users to respond effectively to harassment and abuse. The study discovers that using advanced technologies like GPS, real-time data synchronisation, and user-friendly interfaces improves the app's effectiveness. Application was successfully developed and tested, demonstrating effective emergency response features such as siren activation, GPS tracking, and SMS communication, with high compatibility across devices, though minor optimizations in system responsiveness and user experience are needed for enhanced reliability. The study concludes that the developed application significantly improves user confidence and outlines potential future enhancements to further boost reliability and functionality.
