This paper presents HerVoice, an Android-ased mobile application meticulously engineered to augment women's safety in distress scenarios. Developed leveraging Java and XML within the Android Studio integrated development environment, HerVoice integrates robust cloud- based services including Firebase Authentication, Firebase Realtime Database, and the Google Maps API. This synergistic technological framework facilitates real-time security assistance and fosters a community-driven paradigm for safety awareness, thereby addressing critical gaps in personal safety infrastructure.
The foundational objective of HerVoice is to provide immediate communication and precise location tracking capabilities during emergencies. A core feature, the 'Safe Button,' enables users to dispatch an SMS containing their live GPS coordinates to pre-registered emergency contacts instantaneously upon activation. Furthermore, the system incorporates an autonomous safety protocol: should the device's battery level deplete below a critical threshold of 15%, an automated alert SMS, inclusive of the user's current live location, is transmitted to designated contacts, ensuring continuous safety monitoring even under adverse power conditions.
