%T FRNDY: A Women's Safety App
%X Women's security has always been a major concern, and numerous potential solutions have been discussed regarding how technology can be used to address the issue. Currently, the rapid rise in smartphone usage has made it possible to integrate personal security efficiently and effectively with the help of hardware and software. Existing security methods necessitate some form of human input and the use of only pre-selected contacts. When it comes to tragic occurrences involving women, the number is frighteningly high. Problems can arise from a variety of situations, including women walking on the street after work, going to the supermarket, or a variety of other reasons when they are alone. There has been a spike in women-related crimes in Malaysia as well. Therefore, to enhance women's safety in Malaysia this project suggests a mobile application that can come in handy for women who find themselves in dangerous situations. When the need arises, a single click on this application will recognize the location using GPS and will send a message to the registered contacts containing the location URL, as well as call the first registered contact to assist the user in a difficult situation. Authentication of their identity is also mandatory for this application. The primary goal of this study is to ensure and enhance personal safety. As a result, the primary goal of this project is to make it easier for users to get assistance promptly. In addition, a security pin is used as the login password to verify the user's identity and prevent an anonymous or malicious attack. This project makes use of the agile methodology to make certain that testing is carried out in each module. It creates opportunities to reevaluate the development lifecycle to make sure the entire project fulfills the outcome and operates well. After several iterations of refinement and debugging, the final system is deemed bug-free. © 2022 IEEE.
