In order to combat the problem of women being raped in India, three students developed underwear that will help reduce sex abuse.
The students have developed a bra that they said has an "anti-rape" feature that helps women protect themselves against attacks.
The bra has a shock wave system that will shock the perpetrator. It will also alert police and the girl’s parents through the built in GPS technology.
“I understand that with this technology police will be able to track the victim, and send help immediately, thereby saving the victim from the being sexually abused which is a very good thing, but what happens if a girl is promiscuous and fools around with a boy? Will police be alerted, which will result in the boy being arrested?” Aamir Ibrahim, 21, from Mumbai, India told YourJewishNews.com.
If a person tries to molest a girl he will be shocked when the pressure sensors are activated. The GPS is connected to a cell phone transmitter which sends a text to emergency service as well as the parents of the girl.
The GPS and sensors are close to the chest. If someone attempts to rape the girl he will be attacked first, hopefully giving the girl enough time to escape.
The developers of the project are three engineering students.
Mohan is an engineering student of Sri Ramaswamy Memorial University in Chennai, while her two colleagues, Rimpi Tripathi, and Niladri Basu Bal, are students at the Instrumentation & Control Engineering at SRM University in Chennai.
