        abstract = {Women's safety is a critical concern in today’s society. Despite technological advancements, existing safety devices are often bulky, unreliable, or ineffective in emergencies. This paper proposes a wearable solution in the form of smart footwear powered by Raspberry Pi Pico (a compact microcontroller used to control electronic devices). The device integrates GSM (Global System for Mobile communications for sending messages and making calls) and GPS (Global Positioning System for real-time location tracking) modules for real-time tracking and communication, ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection, an SOS alert button, and a shock-based self-defense mechanism. Raspberry Pi Pico provides improved processing power, memory, and programming flexibility. Simulation and preliminary testing validate the effectiveness of the shock circuit and GSM-based alert system. This innovative integration of IoT (Internet of Things: connected devices exchanging data) and fashion aims to empower women by providing communication, navigation, and protection in a discreet wearable device.},
