Agati - A Personalized Women’s Safety and Empowerment App
摘要
Security concerns and the empowerment of women remain highly pressing challenges in India, with significant issues evident across urban, semi-urban, and rural regions alike. Women’s mobility is often constrained by the fear of harassment, crime, and social barriers which slows down their movement toward true empowerment. To address these problems, this study focuses on the major drivers of women’s safety and empowerment which include social norms, presence of crime, supportive structures, and women participation in technology. To address these challenges, this paper proposes Agati, an Android application that offers safety and empowerment features specifically tailored for women. Agati combines real-time safety alerts, location tracking, community support networks, and financial literacy modules to foster both security and economic independence. By leveraging data analytics and user feedback, the app aims to build a personalized, data-driven solution that bridges the gap between security and empowerment. Through this integrated approach, Agati seeks to create a safe, supportive environment that promotes social power and holistic growth for women.
