SafeCircle: A Real-Time Women Safety Mobile Application with SOS Alerts and Live Location Tracking

The SafeCircle application was successfully designed and implemented as a comprehensive women safety solution that integrates real-time location tracking, SOS alert generation, trusted contact notification, and emergency support services into a single mobile platform. The system leverages Flutter, Firebase, GPS technology, and cloud-based services to provide fast, secure, and reliable assistance during emergency situations. The application enables users to instantly share their live location, notify trusted contacts, access emergency helplines, and identify safe and risky areas. The inclusion of OTP-based safety confirmation further enhances system reliability by ensuring that users can verify their safety after an emergency has been resolved. Additionally, features such as chat support, safety awareness resources, and feedback management contribute to a more user-friendly and supportive environment. The successful implementation and testing of SafeCircle demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing emergency response time, improving communication, and enhancing personal security. By combining multiple safety features within a single platform, the proposed system provides a practical, scalable, and efficient solution for women's safety. Future enhancements such as artificial intelligence-based risk prediction, wearable device integration, and automated emergency service connectivity can further improve the capabilities and impact of the application.
