Women Safety Alert System: An Android Application for Real-Time Emergency Response

Abstract: The Women Safety Alert System is an Android-based mobile application designed to enhance the personal safety of women by providing immediate emergency assistance during dangerous situations. The application utilizes smartphone technologies such as GPS, SMS services, internet connectivity, sensors, and multimedia recording to create a comprehensive real-time emergency alert platform. The system enables women to quickly notify trusted contacts and emergency responders through a single-touch SOS button or hidden triggers such as shake detection and voice commands. Upon activation, the application fetches the user's real-time location and transmits emergency alerts to predefined contacts via SMS and cloud notifications. The proposed solution integrates multiple emergency communication methods, hidden activation features, real-time GPS tracking, and evidence collection into one unified platform, developed using Android Studio with Java/Kotlin, Firebase, Google Maps API, and Android SDK tools. Experimental testing confirms fast alert transmission, reliable GPS tracking, and effective emergency response support.
