        abstract = {Women's safety has become a pressing concern in recent times, and technology plays a crucial role in enhancing protection mechanisms. This project presents a smart security wearable device developed using the ESP32 microcontroller and open-source technologies to provide real-time assistance in emergency situations. The wearable device is designed to be discreet and user-friendly, capable of detecting distress through button press or sensor triggers. Upon activation, it sends alert messages to predefined emergency contacts via internet-based protocols (such as MQTT) using Wi-Fi. The system also includes features such as GPS-based location tracking and real-time data transmission to ensure quick response. This low-cost, efficient solution leverages the power of IoT and open-source platforms to offer a practical safeguard for women in unsafe environments.},
