Panchi: A women’s security app

Abstract

The domain is the primary focus of this project (Web Application Development). In India, it is difficult for women to report the issues they are having because it either takes a long time to document them and convey them to the appropriate authority or because of cultural pressure. In order to solve their issue by presenting complaints to the appropriate authority immediately, a web application is suggested. It has a complaint module that enables women to report emergencies so that authorities can be dispatched to those who need assistance. It is an interface for registering complaints and following them up. The main problem statement tried to be worked upon is the fact that when women want to register any grievance they are not able to do so because of various reasons out of which two stand out as the most common. The way to reach the authorities responsible to take action is way too long and time-consuming and this discourages them to go ahead with it as they’re unsure of even being heard or what the outcome of the situation might be even after spending a long time and effort for the same. The other factor is the fear of being judged by the society which is one of the leading factors as to why women do not go ahead with reporting their grievances. This has been overcome by our solution by having only end-to-end access to the data/complaints between the user and the admin and ensuring secrecy.
