safety app for women/teenagers/travelers SOS helpline Totem

Safety app for Teenagers/working Women/Travelers-----------A virtual bodyguard----A CSR initiative by Totem --flexible. user friendly pro active  Traffic light concept based model .

With many women working now and also spending time away from family or travelling  across the city to a party or across the globe to make a sales presentation there's need for an app  which uses technology to identify risks ,inform the user proactively and provide methodologies to user to enhance her safety security .....excellent tool to prevent road harassment
----siren sound---bright light added for convenience
This app is based on three scenarios like the colors of Traffic light RYG ..App done with view that  user likes to have flexibility in both how he determines the emergency and types of response to be initiated.....at the same time the large R button serves for panic SOS
YELLOW I am in unsure mode and not sure what may happen next...eg on a blind date ,new cab driver on night shift
RED   emergency  mode need SOS help asap
GREEN life is normal and u may see the metro's  police directory ,top 10 safety tips in 10 regional languages,self defense video or see location of nearest police stations
R-- –emergency mode -dial 100 and transmit gps location ,take photo every ten second, record audio and share  and share red SOS mode to facebook ,also to global helpline ,option to share to media ......shake feature /hold power button /draw plus sign/gesture and voice activation options  for activation coming soon
Y-----unsure  mode-----transmit my gps  location at intervals as desired by user  and share safe yellow mode to facebook and to my pre filled  emergency numbers---depending on your assesment app allows u to share scenario
crime maps, crime alerts, media connectivity and physical help thru guarding agencies will be coming in next version
G--- ---secure mode   -----back to normal –all fine ---secure mode ------in case red or yellow was pressed pressing green will retransmit on facebook and sms to prefilled numbers that all is fine
Safety security of women in a shopping plaza,taxi a mall or a friends farmhouse or simply shopping on a street or hiking to adventurous destinations presents a complex risk analytics scenario since it depends on the womens , features, dressing, culture, confidence, poise in addition to the surrounding scenario rather a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors coupled with time place geometrics .also contributing factors can be persons internet habits on facebook twitter ,psycho social paradigm …..all of us as human beings have desire to be hep trendy and cool but finally our actions are not isolated and could interact with others which may lead us into a difficult situation .

Soon will be partnering with various police organisations, NGOs,lawyers ,cab pickup,media companies and man guarding companies to be able to provide timely help in times of a crises

 Women are not safe anywhere in world, until the thinking toward women doesn't change, unless the respect towards women doesn't come. The nature of Women & Girls Safety related problems have changed with the changing mores, moral values and norms in our society especially in a overgrowing and over changing metropolitan  due to rapidly changing life style. The menace is rampant and growing steadily. Sexual harasment at workplace during night shifts in BPOs is also coming up
