Things are as they are, not as they should be!

Stay Safe, Please

  • When a third year law student was raped, struck 14 times with a motorcycle helmet, and finally strangled with a wire, at her residence, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was savagely beaten and gang-raped in a moving bus last year, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a 25-year old woman TV journalist was found shot dead in her car while returning home after work, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a foreign national was found murdered in mysterious circumstances in a guesthouse,  I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a 35-year old woman is beaten up daily by her husband and harassed by her in-laws over dowry, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a 16-year old is pushed into the flesh trade against her wishes and is beaten up, is ill-treated and kept in captivity, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a girl is harassed, lynched and exiled  and later killed by her family because she brought ‘dishonor’ to their family, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a old woman is tied up with metal padlocks and chains for around 10 years in the basement of her home by her son, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a 20 year old is scared to go out for a stroll in the park adjacent to her home, after dinner, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a woman is nervous about traveling alone in a public transport, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.
  • When a woman is jogging on a lonely track, I wish she had a Smart Suraksha with her.

Given the times we live in, the crimes against women are on the rise. No woman feels safe and this is because the crimes against women cut across the boundaries of culture, education, age, religion,  socio-economic status…

As they say, safety is in your own hands. So apart from carrying pepper sprays or being proficient in self defense, women should have another savior in the form of Smart Suraksha.

      1. 😀 Give it to a child. Good one!
        As for the article, love the bullet format. Kind of digs in the seriousness of each and every incident that you mention. Great post!

    1. Thank you Ma’am. A smartphone is like your laptop only… explore it and you will enjoy the experience thoroughly. 🙂

  1. Times are so bad that we have to depend on a small cell-phone to take care of ourselves. But its a blessing.thank God for technology.

  2. I have never heard of this app and wonder if it is available in the United States. What a God send this would be as long as the lady had the time and capacity to bring it up while being attacked. It sounds like a wonderful safety tool.

    1. This app is available on Google Play Store… so I guess, you should be able to download it on your phone in US. Try it… I am now curious to see if it works at your place! 😛 Yes, it is truly a boon for women when in any distressing situation!

  3. very true shilpa. safety is in our own hands. It is not possible for the police or any security agency to be present in every nook and corner and provide security 24/7. In such circumstances smart suraksha is the most needed app. every woman/girl, why even men can carry.

  4. Shucks man. This post disturbed me right from the first line. But unfortunately this is the truth and there is nothing one can do about it… I wish this app can at least solve the purpose in some odd way…

    1. I know what you mean, Richa! When I was reading about these, it disturbed me too!! yeah I hope this app helps too…

  5. Interesting and useful app in today’s hostile times. Seems like it doesn’t work with Google nexus phone in US,I tried to download and it said incompatible.
