Bhavani – A portable safety device for women

• A portable safety device for women was unveiled on the eve of International Women’s Day 2015.
• The device called Bhavani – which combines five engineering techniques – is all set to hit the market within a month and is aimed at being the country’s first comprehensive portable self-defence device for women.
• The need to unveil this protection device for women is a sad reflection of what our society has become. It’s unsettling to admit that women now need safety devices (weapons) to venture out.
• The device is a 10×1 inch baton which can easily fit into a handbag.

• It consists of features including
  1. A strobe light,
  2. Non-lethal stun gun,
  3. A 10 foot throw distance pepper spray,
  4. Panic button which when pressed will send five SOS sms with GPS location to five pre-fed members/numbers.
  5. An active voice call to the first number,
  6. A Swiss knife and
  7. A 2 feet collapsible baton

are also part of the features inbuilt in the device.

• An inbuilt GPRS will help trace the exact location of the victim.
