With surveys of what is happening around us, it is beyond any argument to state that women are not safe enough to move freely alone. It is high time for the women to give a good retort to the society and raise their voice against the crimes that are taking place regularly. Pervasive computing with its omnipresent nature is emerging with a revolutionary approach towards technological growth. Anything and everything of the surroundings can be made to act as a computing device using the concept of pervasive computing. This paper makes use of the ever-present nature of pervasive computing to provide security to women. The work of this paper aims at designing a pervasive system comprising of a wearable computer that will act as a guardian angel for women in danger. The design of the system makes use of body area sensors, Bluetooth communication, GPS, SMS and MMS, Internet connection and mobile database system. A machine learning approach based on supervised classification is used to determine whether a woman is in danger. A prototype of the system is implemented in android.
