Abstract
Women suffering violation are even denied of the basic human rights. Gender based violence has become a national as well as international agenda because of decades long struggles by civil society accompanied by women's movements. Though there are unprecedented numbers of laws against domestic violence, sexual assault and other forms of violence in each and every country to protect their female citizens to become a victim of any such violence but they are facing major challenges in implementing such laws. Thus making the society unjust and insecure for the women as in majority of cases the violator remains unpunished. We all should focus on ensuring a society which is secure for all the women around the globe so that they can experience equality and justice. In a sexual act of violence the aggressors are confident of the power they exercise. The defence strategy used by females needs to be revolutionised by adopting modern technology and gadgets to protect them from their oppressor. This device is an answer to all the women who deserve a safe and secure world.
