Considering various difficult situations that a woman might face during an attack, this safety device had to be easily accessible no matter what physical and mental constraint the user may be in.

Oval-shaped and measuring less than two inches, device easily clips onto jeans pocket, t-shirt or sportswear. The device connects to nearest security services when user simply presses the SOS button thrice. Device also connects to a smaller trigger device via Bluetooth. So if main device is out of reach, users can also use trigger device to activate the signal.
