Technology for Women Safety

Women hold the position of Goddess. They were believed to be a form of Durga, Laxmi, and Kali. Even rivers and mountains were worshipped in the name of women like Ganga. Half of India’s population consists of women. It was a belief that women are born to get married and then do household chores. There was a time when they were not given education due to various reasons like gender inequality, dowry, child marriage, and many more. The status of women in society has evolved from ancient times. The women’s status deteriorated in the middle ages.

In today’s world, women are present in every field. They have proved themselves in every male-dominated area. Despite managing household chores, she is also engaging herself in every possible work field. Today’s women believe in being independent. They are not dependent on anyone for their financial income, parenting, and many more. There are many inspiring stories of women like Kiran Bedi, Kalpana Chawla, PV Sindhu, Saina Nehwal, Indira Gandhi, and many more who have created a history by being the first woman to be in the respective fields. Women are not limited to the house. A woman’s capability must not be underestimated by her gender. They are capable and powerful. A woman should be encouraged to accomplish their goals. They should not be stopped from taking education. Similarly, if they want to work, they must be allowed. They deserve equal treatment by society.

Despite having much respect, women’s safety is at its peak of concern. The everyday newspaper contains news related to rape cases, stalking, domestic violence, crimes against women. This creates a fear in the minds of girl child parents and even women. Some people even consider the girl child to be a burden on them, due to which they prefer to kill her, which is another crime. Men throw acid on women, rape them, beat them and the list goes on.

All these things have a bad effect on a girl. They even fear going out and they are not allowed to go out at night as well. We all must create a safe environment for women. Unfortunately, a woman is not always safe. Well, don’t trust a stranger for safety but consider downloading the following essential apps which will be very helpful.
