• Abstract:

  Women’s Safety Continues To Remain A Major Social Concern Across The World. Existing Safety Applications Mostly Depend On Continuous Internet Connectivity, Which Becomes A Serious Limitation During Emergencies Occurring In Rural Regions, Underground Areas, Or Crowded Places With Unstable Networks. To Address This Issue, This Paper Introduces SheG: The Gridless Guardian, An Autonomous Offline-first Women’s Safety Ecosystem Designed To Provide Reliable Emergency Support Even Without Internet Access. The Proposed System Uses Built-in Smartphone Technologies Such As GPS, GSM-based SMS Communication, Biometric Authentication, Microphone, And Camera Modules To Deliver Emergency Alerts, Evidence Recording, And Secure Access Control. Unlike Conventional Safety Applications, SheG Ensures Uninterrupted Emergency Communication Through GSM SMS Services That Operate Independently Of Mobile Data Connectivity. Experimental Evaluation Conducted Under Different Network Conditions Demonstrated A 97.8% SMS Delivery Success Rate In Low-network Environments, Significantly Outperforming Conventional Internet-dependent Systems. The Application Achieved An Average SOS Response Time Of 3.7 Seconds With Minimal Battery Consumption During Continuous Background Monitoring. The Proposed Platform Provides A Practical, Scalable, And Highly Reliable Solution For Women’s Safety, Especially In Resource Constrained And Low-connectivity Environments.
