The protection and mental health of women and children continue to be pressing societal concerns, but while immense problems remain in the form of restricted access to mental healthcare, unawareness of legal rights, and inadequate provisions for emergency support mechanisms, immense problems still abound. The StrongHer project meets the above challenges through the creation of a secure, accessible, and integrated online platform. The platform provides virtual counselling services, mental health screenings using GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scales, gamified learning exercises that enhance legal awareness, and instant emergency response using IoT-based wearable devices. Sensitive medical records are stored securely using blockchain technology (Ethereum and IPFS) to maintain data privacy and integrity. Developed using ASP.NET Core MVC, Microsoft SQL Server, NodeMCU (IoT module), and blockchain integrations, StrongHer integrates the latest technologies to establish a digital safe space. The system empowers users by boosting their mental resilience, giving them timely support, encouraging legal literacy, and providing real-time emergency communication features. By combining counselling, legal aid, education, and emergency response within one environment, StrongHer is a complete solution to tackle the complex issues of vulnerable groups, thus making a significant contribution towards the safety and well-being of society.
