Two young Indian women have come up with a creative way to combat their country’s pervasive rape problem: a pair of high-tech jeans.
Students Diksha Pathak, 21, and Anjali Srivastava, 23, of Varanasi designed a pair of red pants outfitted with a small electronic button that sends a distress call to the nearest police station when pressed. The signal acts as a tracker, so police can rush straight to the victim’s location.
Outraged by the prevalence of sexual violence against women in India, students Diksha Pathak (left) and Anjali Srivastava have created a high-tech pair of jeans designed to prevent rape. There are already as many as 200 police stations capable of receiving the alarm in Varanasi and its surrounding areas. Tests will be carried out next month, and lawmakers may press for the technology to be expanded nationwide if they’re successful.
