Design of Women Safety Device with Fingerprint Sensor

bstract: The safety of women has always been a global concern, and despite various measures adopted, the number of cases of misconduct against women is steadily rising. To address this issue, a new approach in the form of a device has been proposed. The purpose of this gadget is to give women a tool to safeguard their security and safety in the incident of an accident. To ensure that no woman feels helpless in the face of such crime issues, defense mechanisms must be proposed in large-scale productions. The suggested gadget is an embedded system designed on an Arduino board and a NodeMCU module with GPS that delivers a warning sound will be heard in the event of danger and an emergency message is sent with the user's location. To safeguard women's safety, this technology follows the location and transmits a message to the police control room, family, and friends. Moreover, a fingerprint module built into the system makes sure that only authorized users are utilizing the equipment. The smartphone will deem it dangerous and automatically send an SMS to the appropriate authority if the user does not touch their fingertips on the module that stores fingerprints within a predetermined amount of time. In conclusion, the proposed device could be a valuable tool in ensuring the safety and security of women. With the integration of technology, this device could provide a sense of security to women and help prevent crimes against them.

Women Safety App for Improved Personal Security

Abstract: Women's safety is a crucial problem that society must address. Eve teasing, sexual assaults, and domestic abuse are just a few of the crimes against women whose frequency is rising daily. A smartphone may be the simplest method to get assistance when security is an issue. The goal of this project is to develop an Android Application that will aid in protecting women in whatever circumstance they may encounter on a daily basis. We have developed a straightforward Android application that includes a number of safety features that women may use with only a few taps on the screen to quickly and easily get aid or to avoid and flee a dangerous situation. It makes it quick and easy for the user's registered contacts to learn when they are in distress and to get in touch with them by using GPS position monitoring. It also has safety features including a voice recording that a lady or the police may use as situational proof or identification, as well as a siren to alert passersby of any inappropriate behavior, spy camera detection to find hidden cameras, and emergency helpline numbers that can be used to connect directly to emergency services based on the situation women are in for their safety.

From woman to woman: consumption vulnerability and responsible innovation in transport network companies

Transport Network Companies (TNC) present challenges for women's safety during the service experience. Employing women drivers as part of Responsible Innovation (RI) can help mitigate Vulnerability of Consumption (VC) in this sector. However, women are often overlooked in research and practice of conventional transport planning. This study aims to analyse the vulnerability of female consumers of mobility applications and explore their perceptions regarding factors that affect VC and the inclusion of women drivers in the context of RI. The research utilizes a qualitative approach and a case study method, involving participant observation of mobility services and interviews with women residing in student housing affiliated with a Brazilian university. The findings indicate that Structural Factors - Social, Environmental, and Market - significantly influence the VC experienced by the women surveyed. Many participants expressed a preference for female drivers. However, the efforts to incorporate women drivers are slow and limited. Integrating RI principles is crucial for driving innovation and reducing VC.

Blink talk: A machine learning-based method for women safety using EEG and eye blink signals

Women's safety is currently thought to be a big issue in both urban and rural settings. A variety of smart gadgets and software were created to provide women with security. There are a lot of smart gadgets and applications on the market, but they don't offer a good answer and are too expensive. In this research, a novel machine learning-based Blink Talk method has been proposed for women safety. EEG based on some blink talk algorithms for eye blink detection. Initially, the EEG and eye blink signals are pre-processed using Discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The pre-processed signals are fed into Stacked Denoising autoencoder (SDAE) for extracting the features. In the next phase, the extracted features are used to classify the emotions of women through Multiclass Support vector machine (MSVM). The classification results are sad, happy, normal, and fear; finally, fear emotion is converted into text using GSM to the saved contacts and nearby police station and GPS scan the near radius surrounding people to send the alert and help request message for the help needed person. The experimental results reveal that the suggested approach provides high accuracy range of 98.04%. then the traditional machine learning techniques.

Disrupting Patriarchal Illusio to Reduce Violence Against Women and Girls.

We apply a Bourdieusian lens to understand the reproduction of a patriarchal illusio that works to maintain violence-supportive attitudes and concurrent low levels of support for gender equality among young people. We analyze interview and focus group data collected with young women and men and conclude that we must disrupt the reproduction of patriarchal norms by: recognizing the intentional operation of backlash by men's rights activist groups that undermine attempts to transform society; ensuring girls' and women's safety on new technologies to reduce their exposure to sexism and violence; and introducing prevention early to disrupt misogynist social norms being internalized.

An intelligent women safety app for educational campus

AbstractWomen's safety is an essential and decisive issue in today's world. In these modern times, where technology has advanced a lot, women safety is still a matter of concern. In academic organizations, education for girls/women has become a hurdle. Education is a powerful weapon to end poverty and traditional rituals. Campuses of educational institutions have been highly affected directly or indirectly by various types of violence. Safety is a considerable factor for parents when choosing the campus for their children. Thus, it becomes the responsibility of the campus administration to provide a safe and secure environment. The paper highlights various research papers in the context of women's safety, campus safety, and women awareness. The Intelligent Women Safety App has been proposed with features like Authenticity by user and guard, Real‐Time Location of user and guard, Geo‐fencing technique, SOS facilities for the user. With the use of this app, the campus administration will attempt to provide a safe and secure environment especially for girls in the campus. Both girls and their parents will feel safe to undergo education effectively, and will help in the growth on the nation.

Sustainable Socio-Economic Development of Women: A Blueprint from Vulnerability to Empowerment

The major goals of women's empowerment are to improve earnings, the standard of living and to enable them to use the resources at their disposal to make decisions that will benefit their households and societies. As such, the socioeconomic empowerment of women is significantly captured in the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs of the United Nations UN. The purpose of the study is to look at women’s education, capabilities, decision-making power, access to financial resources, control over household resources, and ability to mobilize for economic rights to enable them to participate in the economic life of the household and the community in a sustainable way. Considering the research questions and recent past publications, this systematic review included relevant literature on socioeconomic empowerment from 2015 onwards. Both direct and summative qualitative content analysis research approach is used. Google Scholar was used as a tool to acquire relevant data from the significant databases made available by Elsevier, Emerald, Sage, Tailor and Frances, Springers, and ProQuest among others. The review of relevant literature found that the importance of the sustainable socioeconomic empowerment of women makes it an essential development intervention and a constituent of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also discovered the necessity of prioritizing women's safety when creating programs for socioeconomic empowerment and closely observing the possibility of conflict and violence within households. It revealed themes of socioeconomic empowerment intervention for women to include labour force participation, agro-based entrepreneurship, and financial inclusion. These interventions are geared toward the improvement of participation in leadership and decision-making for sustainable empowerment. Therefore, the study suggests conducting a case study to examine culturally appropriate tactics that can be most effective in giving women economic empowerment in the conventional cultural and economic framework that is dominated by men.

WOMEN‘S STATUS IN ISLAM AND THE PROSPECTIVES OF OTHER PERSUASIONS; A STUDY OF THE QURAN, ISLAMIC TEACHINGS, AND ISLAMIC LAW

: Today the sundries of congruity masses are circulating the globe that the religion of Islam has pounded and buried the rights of women in a pen, especially by the followers of Western and European civilization, who are frequently condemning that woman are tied in Islam and its rights were barred and all these propositions are grounded on continued and fraudulent. There are numerous verses in the noble Qur'an and in the Sahih Hadiths, which easily explain that Islam isn't only an illustration of peace and order but also the righteousness of woman's rights and security. Islam is the unique religion in the macrocosm, who has expanded women's respect, safety, honor, infallibility, and other rights, which can infrequently be given to any religion in the world. Allah has given Men and women equability in every aspect of life and has bestowed humanity a special status among all brutes. The purpose of this exploration was to find out whether women have the same rights in Islam as men have and how these rights compare with other persuasions. Determining the rights, duties, and liabilities of a woman in Islam, the rulings of a woman's robe have been presented easily in the light of the Messenger of Allah and the training of the Companions and followers. Islam freed women from a life of demotion, slavery, and ignorance and freed them from oppression and exploitation. Islam canceled all the unattractive customs that were against the mortal quality of women and granted women abundant and numerous rights.

Male Perception of Female Participation and VAW on the Virtual Learning App – “Hallo”

This study explored men's perception of women's participation and VAW (Violence against women) on an online learning platform called "Hallo." Based on the analysis of in-depth interviewed data collected from male users of the application, the study found that men hold an egalitarian view in respect of the participation of their female counterparts. Though most men perceived the platform as a tool for women's empowerment through educative elements, exchange of knowledge, language learning opportunities, and development of communication skills, they did not fail to give proper attention to women's safety on this digital podium. Emphasis was given to women's 'self-responsibility' and 'awareness' to handle violence perpetrated by male users against them. Primarily, cultural and religious boundaries, strengthened by patriarchy, were marked as leading determiners of women's communication leeway in the learning space. Besides that, the normalization of violence was found justified by divergent labels such as 'mere amusement,' 'right to freedom of expression,' or 'temporary moral shift.' Moreover, the study discovered that women of Asian and Arab origins get victimized specifically for their stereotypical feminine temperament. At the same time, rude talking patterns, fame motives, or dating intentions are considered liable for violence against women regardless of their race, color, creed, or location.

More than a dot point: Connecting primary prevention of violence against women and public transport

Primary prevention refers to addressing the root causes of violence against women. It is an increasing focus of policy and social change, and public transport is a recognized site where targeted primary prevention interventions could have high impact. However, to date, this locus has yet to be well explored. In addition, while there is a wealth of literature on feminist approaches to women's safety on and around public transport, the public transport sector itself has been slow to implement this research. This paper investigates the disconnect between primary prevention and public transport by conducting a narrative analysis of reviews of women's safety interventions on public transport and looks at how decision-makers in both primary prevention and public transport can work together to resolve this situation. MethodsA narrative analysis of reviews of women's safety on public transport interventions. ResultsReviews of interventions for women's safety on public transport highlight that the current focus is on preventing individual instances of violence or responding to violence that has occurred. There are few examples of primary prevention interventions. DiscussionThere is an apparent lack of focus on women's safety on public transport, particularly in the industry's emphasis on protecting infrastructure. The paper shows that feminist approaches to public transport could incorporate a whole-of-system response to women's safety. These approaches should be paired with addressing other intersecting forms of inequality. Primary prevention interventions would include locally targeted interventions, communications campaigns and legislative change. ConclusionsBy bringing together primary prevention research and feminist public transport research, public transport has strong potential to be a key site for the primary prevention of violence against women.

WOGUARD - Smart Safety Device

Abstract: Nowadays, the amount of violence against women has increased manifold due to greater exposure of women in every sphere of life. It has become a big issue now. Crime rate is at its peak. Recent crimes against women, especially rape cases, have been appalling. As a result of such crimes, women's safety has become a controversial issue in India. Despite international agreements, new legislation and the gender movement, women remain particularly vulnerable to assault. It is estimated that 35% of women have been subjected to physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives. Looking at all these issues we have proposed a device which will really be of great help to the women. In order to reduce violence against women, this paper provides a variety of ideas and approaches from several authors that have examined numerous applications and gadgets using current technologies and processors and have modified them with specific specifications.

Theorizing racialized disaster patriarchal capitalism in the age of COVID‐19: A framework for feminist policy change

AbstractIn this concluding article, the authors use a global, intersectional feminist political economy lens to reconceptualize disaster response policy and practices that center women's lives. They extend this issue's discussion of the COVID‐19 pandemic's impact on women's health and safety in ways that have exposed and expanded gender inequalities, and differently for different groups of women, to the discourse of how disaster responses have not only failed women, but have also been used opportunistically by elites to enhance racial and gendered capitalism. In the first half of the article, the authors discuss how the previous feminist literature on the gendering of disasters, with important exceptions, largely misses a critique of the ways the crisis of neoliberalism and the role of racial and gendered global capitalism sets the stage for women to be targets for disaster opportunism. At the same time, critical scholars who have taken on the analysis of disaster capitalism often ignore the well‐established feminist social science on disasters. In the second half of the article, the authors bridge these two literatures and provide an intersectional gendered analysis of what they call the political economy of “racialized patriarchal disaster capitalism” as applied to select cases from the COVID crisis as illustrations. Finally, the authors discuss the theoretical implications of their analysis for feminist conceptualizations of disaster opportunism, as well as practical implications for global public health advocates, policy makers, NGOs, and feminist health activists.

Danger Zone or Newfound Freedoms: Exploring Women and Girls' Experiences in the Virtual Space during COVID-19 in Iraq.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, women and girls across the globe faced increased reliance on the digital space to access education, social support, and health and gender-based violence (GBV) services. While research from the last three years has explored how women and girls navigated and responded to their new virtual reality, minimal evidence has been generated from low-resource settings where access to technology may be limited. Further, no studies to date have examined these dynamics in Iraq, where women and girls already face numerous threats to safety due to various forms of structural violence and patriarchal family structures. This qualitative study aimed to examine women and girls' experiences in the digital space during COVID-19 in Iraq, including the benefits and risks of engagement as well as how access to the digital space was controlled. Data for the present analysis come from the authors' larger multi-country study investigating women and girls' safety and access to GBV services in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures employed to control the spread of the virus. In Iraq, semi-structured key informant interviews were conducted virtually with fifteen GBV service providers. Following the translation and transcription of interviews, the thematic analysis highlighted several benefits and challenges women and girls experienced as they tried to access and utilize technology for schooling, support services, and obtaining and spreading information. While many women and girls increasingly and successfully relied on social media to spread awareness of GBV cases, key informants noted that women and girls also faced increased risks of experiencing electronic blackmail. In addition to a substantial digital divide in this context-which manifested as differential access to technology by gender, rural/urban status, and socioeconomic status-intrahousehold control of girls' access to and use of technology left many adolescent girls unable to continue schooling and contributed to their further marginalization and consequent decline in well-being. Implications for women's safety and mitigation strategies are also discussed.

Konsep Kafa’ah Dalam Hukum Islam \dan Urgensinya terhadap Keutuhan Rumah Tangga Sakinah Menurut Pandangan Wahbah Az-Zuhaili


 Kafaah in marriage is one of the factors that encourage the creation of happiness and more guarantees women's safety from husband and wife failure and more guarantees women's safety from failure or household turmoil. Based on the research results, first Jumhur ulama' explained that the concept of kafa'ah is not evaluated in terms of religion alone, but in Islamic Law, kafa'ah is measured from religious matters. The Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) in determining the kafa'ah of marriage is more judgmental in terms of religion. Prevention of marriage can be done in certain matters that are discussed through KHI Article 60 Paragraph, second, that is prevention of marriage can be done if the prospective husband or prospective wife does not meet the requirements of marriage according to the law and Islamic law, because one of the content of the conditions of marriage is both couples are said to be valid when done in accordance with the laws of their respective religions. Third, the concept of kafa'ah of Wahbah Az-Zuhaili's view is in line with Imam Malik's opinion, which considers equality only in religion and conditions. The meaning of this condition is to be safe from the shame that makes a woman choose a candidate when she wants to get married. Wahbah Az-Zuhaili analyzed it in accordance with daily life in the community, 3) things that can affect the occurrence of harmony in the household, namely between husband and wife having compatibility. Harmony and happiness in a household is determined by the harmony of the couple.
