Women's Safety and Empowerment Using AI Tools

Abstract

Even as we celebrate women's knowledge today, their true empowerment globally still lags behind. Women continue to face suppression and minority treatment in workplaces, a consequence of gender inequality and narrow mindsets among humans. From physical assaults and domestic abuse to sexual harassment, trafficking, and gender-based crimes, women face a spectrum of threats solely because of their gender. Women are often being objectified, leading to both physical and psychological harm, a disturbing reality that persists in society. Safeguarding women's rights and dignity is an urgent priority that requires immediate attention. Despite the availability of various technologies aimed at women's safety, they lack efficacy and fail to provide timely assistance when needed. This goal is to create AI-driven predictive algorithms with probabilistic models that proactively alert women before potential dangers, ensuring their safety by anticipating and preventing potential harm.
