One of the biggest problems in our society today is women’s safety. We keep reading about incidents where women are harassed, attacked, or followed, and honestly it feels like we are not doing enough to protect them. I thought – what if there was a personal protection device that could actually shield women in dangerous situations? That’s where the idea of Help Hanumaan came to me.
The concept is simple but powerful. Imagine a small device that fits in your pocket, like a compact gadget. In normal times, it just sits quietly, but the moment a woman feels unsafe, she just has to say the words: “Help Hanumaan.” Immediately, the device opens up like an umbrella, but instead of just covering from rain, it expands into a protective bubble around her. This bubble works like an invisible wall—no one can get inside. Anyone who tries to force their way through gets an electric shock that pushes them back. The woman inside is completely safe, unharmed, and protected from all directions.
When the danger is over, she simply says “Thanks Hanumaan” and the device folds back into her pocket.
Now, is this technically easy? Of course, it will need serious innovation. It could use foldable carbon-fiber frames for the umbrella-like structure, transparent polycarbonate shields for the walls, and a low-voltage electric fence mechanism that only activates outward, not inward. The voice recognition system can be run by a small AI chip so only the owner’s commands are accepted. A rechargeable battery could power the shocks and the expansion system. Even though this sounds futuristic, with today’s technology in wearables, AI, and smart materials, it doesn’t feel impossible.
The benefits are huge. Women can walk freely without constantly worrying about who’s behind them. Families would feel more secure when their daughters, sisters, or mothers are out late. It could also act as a deterrent—if society knows that women carry such protection, harassment cases may drop.
The stakeholders are everyone:
Women who gain confidence and safety.
Families who stop living in fear.
Law enforcement, because such devices can reduce the burden of constant patrolling.
Government and policymakers, since this fits into initiatives for women empowerment and safety.
Even startups and manufacturers who can produce these devices at scale, creating jobs and innovation in India.
The truth is, women’s safety is not just a “women’s issue,” it’s a societal issue. Unsafe streets and public spaces affect everyone, including economic growth. If women feel unsafe to study, work, or travel, our whole society loses out on their talent, creativity, and contribution. By introducing something like Help Hanumaan, we’re not just giving a safety tool—we’re giving freedom and confidence back to half the population.
Yes, there will be challenges—cost, design, making it lightweight, ensuring it works in emergencies—but isn’t it worth trying? Even if we build a prototype that shows the possibility, it can inspire more innovations.
