    Digital Desk: Crimes against women have made it difficult for them to live without fear. From walking on the street past 7 to travelling alone on a busy bus during the day, women are forced to think twice. Recognizing the issues that women experience in society, one man decided to step up and provide a solution.

     

    Shyam Chaurasia, a man from Uttar Pradesh, has used his inventive and creative mind to create a self-defense kit for women. The kit contains a purse, sandals, and earrings. These items will allow a woman in trouble to seek immediate help. The purse designed by Chaurasia is called the "Smart Purse Gun". Even though it resembles a typical rifle, shots are fired by pressing a little red button on the purse. The gunshot will help you grab the attention of others around you. The bullets used are blank tablets.



    The "Smart anti-rape sandals" are the next item in the package. The sandals are very similar to the handbag, except for the Bluetooth facility. As for the earrings, they have a GPS tracking mechanism along with an emergency call feature.


    Speaking about his innovation, Chaurasia stated that he was inspired by the issues that women confront on a daily basis.

    Additionally, he stated that the devices are still in the early stages of development. He stated that the kits cost Rs. 2497. Further, he said that after charging, the goods can be utilized for a full two weeks. Abdul Kalam University (AKTU)'s innovation hub is helping Chaurasia in launching the product in the market.
