The safety of women is a concern of increasing urgency in India and other countries. With increase in the crime rate against women, the rate of usage of technology also increases. Therefore, this research paper aims to find an approach where the increasing crime rate can be prevented. The best way is to give a technological way to this problem, and finally an android based App is designed and developed with title "NeedUNow app". This application tracks the location of the user through GPS and allows an individual to immediately request for help in disastrous situations with just a tap. It transmits the user's location and an alert message to the user's trusted and registered contacts when the user feels unsafe. These contacts can track the user's location in real time and provide the required help. The proposed system, NeedUNow, is a secure, smart, and reliable application designed to enhance women's safety by providing various advanced features. These include Emergency Alert & Incident Reporting Mechanism - Instantly sends distress signals and reports emergencies to trusted contacts or authorities. Live Location Tracking & Map View Mechanism - Displays real-time user location for emergency responders and trusted contacts.
