        abstract = {In an era where women’s safety is an ongoing 
concern, especially amidst the rising incidents of 
harassment and violence, conventional safety 
mechanisms such as mobile applications and emergency 
helplines have proven to be inadequate during real-time 
emergencies. Divya Kavach, a smart wearable safety 
device designed as a culturally acceptable bangle, aims 
to bridge this critical gap. The project integrates 
advanced technology into an aesthetically traditional 
form, providing women with a discreet yet powerful 
tool for personal protection. The bangle is equipped 
with features such as GPS for real-time location 
tracking, GSM modules for sending emergency alerts, a 
panic button for silent activation, voice-command 
recognition, heart rate monitoring, and an optional 
electroshock mechanism for immediate self-defense. 
Furthermore, it supports dual-mode charging through 
USB and solar energy, making it especially useful in 
power-deficient or rural environments. Developed 
using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and tested 
under various field conditions, the prototype 
demonstrated accurate location tracking and swift alert 
delivery. Divya Kavach presents a socially acceptable, 
technologically advanced, and scalable solution that 
addresses the real-time safety needs of women, 
contributing meaningfully to the field of wearable 
technology with a social impact.},
