In such cases, they feel handicap and need help to protect them. Even though many technologies have been introduced for women still kidnapping, eve teasing and sexual harassment are taking place in our country. When the women face into unsecured situations, to ensure the safety, automatic detection system needs to establish which send an alert message which includes the location of the police department. This can be done by sensing various factors such as abnormal sounds, body reaction like trembling, dreading and heartbeat which can be sensed using sensor and to provide the alert message.In this paper, we surveyed the existing mechanism for detecting locations, for sending communications and collecting physical parameters of the human body using sensors.

Introduction Women safety is one of the major issues in today's world. The world is becoming so much unsafe for women. In today's world, most of the women are stepping out at any time from their house for working. Even though many technologies have been introduced for women still kidnapping, eve teasing and sexual harassment are taking place in our country. In last few years crime against women has increased to a greater extent. Women are harassed not only in the evening or night but also during day hours at home, working place, shopping etc. There is number of women's who have been afraid of strangers for their safety. Around 80% of the women in our country have fear regarding their safety. In past decades women’s usually won’t step out from their house for work, so there was more safety. But in the recent situation, women's want to be employed and want to work outside, but there is the lack of safety; various systems have been built to provide safety for women. Each system use a different kind of techniques to detect the unsafe situation of women. Some of them used panic sensors to detect the condition of the women by heartbeat and temperature change in women’s body, Sound detectors are also used to detect the variations in women voice while they are in danger situation. Most systems use mobile devices for detecting women's unsafe situations, such as phone mike to detect women scream, camera to take pictures and to record video. In this paper, we surveyed the different existing mechanism used for ensuring the safety of women when they are away from home. When the women face into unsecured situations, to ensure the safety, automatic detection system needs to developed which send an alert message to the police department and people. This can be done by sensing various factors such as abnormal sounds, body reaction like shivering, sweating and heartbeat which can be detected using sensor and to provide alert message with the various factors to identify the safety of women are ● Mechanism for detecting Location(GPS) ● Mechanisms for detecting location using street images ● Schemes for Communication(GSM) ● Schemes of communication(Wi-Fi) ● Schemes on Sensor
