AB  - Women empowerment brings equality for women in all aspects of life. But still 35% of women
experience sexual or physical violence across the world. To bring down this value, many devices are designed
to send emergency messages when the alert button on the device is triggered which becomes impossible during
many situations. This proposal aims to develop a portable system that triggers automatically on the type of
touch of the intruder. The method uses an Arduino board and a GSM modem forming the user-friendly,
automatic, portable and a light weight pendant. The user’s fabric attached with silver plated nylon act as the
triggering element. When a person touches the fabric, Swept Frequency Capacitive Sensing (SFCS)
distinguishes the intruder’s touch of forceful grab from our loved one’s normal sense of touch. Once the nature
of grab sense is detected, the pendant makes multiple calls to the mobile phone numbers that are previously
configured. Results show that the proposed method provides a simple and an effective security mechanism for
women to safeguard themselves from intruders.
