| TITLE | Suraksha Women Safety Mobile App |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Women's safety continues to be a pressing societal concern, and although numerous smartphone-based safety applications have been introduced, most remain heavily dependent on continuous internet connectivity, offer no mechanism to preserve digital evidence, and lose emergency data whenever the network fails. This paper presents Suraksha, an Android-based women safety application designed around an offline-first architecture that ensures emergency alerts are never lost, regardless of network availability. A single tap on the SOS button retrieves the user's GPS location, generates a unique emergency request, and, depending on connectivity, either transmits the request to a Node.js/Express backend through Retrofit REST APIs for storage in Firebase Realtime Database, or stores it locally in a Room database and dispatches an SMS alert to registered contacts. Android WorkManager automatically synchronizes pending requests once connectivity is restored. The application also records audio and video evidence during an emergency and uploads it securely to Cloudinary, while a web-based tracking portal lets emergency contacts monitor the user's live location and status. Built using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and the MVVM architecture, the system was evaluated through functional, integration, system and validation testing under both online and offline conditions. Results confirm reliable SOS generation, continuous location tracking, guaranteed offline SMS delivery, and secure evidence preservation, positioning Suraksha as a more dependable alternative to existing women safety applications. |
