Abstract

Abstract: The role of technology in safeguarding women against harassment is pivotal in addressing the pervasive challenges faced globally. This paper explores the multifaceted ways in which technological advancements serve as a catalyst in enhancing women's safety, empowerment, and access to resources. From mobile applications equipped with emergency features to wearable devices providing discreet distress signals, technology offers immediate assistance and a sense of security in vulnerable situations. Location-based services and crowdsourced data aid in mapping safe routes, identifying high-risk areas, and documenting incidents to inform preventive measures. Moreover, social media platforms and online support networks create spaces for awareness, resource-sharing, and community building. Artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and educational platforms play vital roles in predicting, preventing, and educating individuals about harassment. However, challenges of accessibility, digital literacy, privacy, and inclusivity must be addressed to ensure equitable access to these technological solutions. This abstract emphasizes the imperative need to harness technology ethically and inclusively, leveraging its potential to empower women and combat harassment effectively.
