Top 5 Street Safety Apps for Women in India
With the law and order situation in the country turning vile for women, specially after the recent Delhi gang rape case that took place on December 16, 2012, where a physiotherapy student was brutally raped and her friend were beaten by a group of six men, its obvious for the women of the nation getting a feeling of insecurity to even walk of streets alone. However, you dont have to worry at all if you carry a smartphone, as a number of developers have come up with apps to help women react to these situations and remain safe.
The recent one to get added in the list is a mobile application called 'Fight Back'. Developed by mobile value added services provider CanvasM, the application tracks a user's location and sends SOS messages to selected contacts in case of an emergency.
Besides the same, Gizbot today has listed some of the top security apps for women in India. Swirl through the slideshow and have a look.
Fight Back
Women can now alert their friends and family with the push of a button if in distress, using the app called Fight Back, developed by CanvasM. In case of any emergency, the app tracks the location of the user and sends SOS alerts to selected contact numbers. On the push of the panic button, it tracks the location of the user via GPS. The company is also in the efforts to integrate the app with Delhi police's IT infrastructure at the back-end enabling the police to monitor the SOS alerts. The app is supported on Blackberry, Android and Symbian OS. The company also hopes to bring out an SMS based app which will benefit non-smartphone users.
The app is free for Delhi-NCR region users and costs Rs. 100 per annum for other users. Download Fight Back app from here.
Delhi Helplines
This is an app developed after being inspired by Safe Delhi helpline-booklet by Jagori. Delhi Helplines consists of helplines for police, media and lawyers, chemists, hospitals and blood banks, health, women safety and shelter homes, animal help lines, disabled and transport helplines and much more.
