Abstract: Women’s safety has become a critical societal concern due to the increasing incidence of harassment, assault, and emergency situations where victims are unable to seek help in time. Conventional safety solutions such as mobile applications and personal alarms often depend on manual operation, internet connectivity, or user accessibility, which limits their effectiveness during panic or unconscious states. To address these limitations, this paper presents a Women’s Safety Device with GPS Tracking and Alerts, designed as a compact, wearable, and reliable embedded system for real-time personal security.The proposed system is built around an Arduino microcontroller that integrates a GPS module for real-time location tracking, a GSM module for emergency alert transmission, and a MEMS accelerometer sensor for automatic detection of sudden movements or falls. Emergency alerts can be triggered either manually using a push button or automatically when abnormal motion is detected. Upon detection, the system sends an SMS alert containing precise location details to predefined contacts. Additionally, sensor data is uploaded to the ThingSpeak IoT platform for remote monitoring and analysis. An LCD display provides system status information, while a buzzer generates local alerts. The proposed device ensures fast communication, real-time tracking, and enhanced safety without relying on continuous internet connectivity, making it suitable for real-world emergency scenarios.

Keywords: Women Safety, GPS Tracking, GSM Alerts, IoT, MEMS Sensor, Arduino, Emergency Alert System.
