III. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
“In a safe (community), everyone has an equal right to

live without fear of harm or violence, regardless of gender,
race, ethnicity, language, handicap, age, or sexual
orientation. Since violence belongs to everyone, it is our
duty as a community to address it.”
Because the location coordinates are precise, this will

aid victims in avoiding assault and registered contacts in
getting to the spot as soon as feasible. Features that we have
developed will improve the current tracking system. The
programme differentiates out from the current system since
it delivers GPS coordinates rather than text messages, which
makes it straightforward & distinctive. Server space is the
sole location where the database must be installed.
In a future update, a voice-activated feature that

launches the app calls emergency contacts, and sends SMS
can be included. SMS messages to all contacts for
emergencies. Automatically taking photos and videos and
saving them to Google Drive or other internet stores. Calling
helplines to alert surrounding police stations. Included in the
application are the locations of surrounding police stations
and hospitals.
