Abstract
In recent years, acts of sexual violence against women are increasing at a terrifying rate (Mahajan, Reddy,

& Rajput, 2016). United Nations says sexual violence includes a host of harmful behaviors directed at

women and girls because of their sex, including wife abuse, sexual assault, dowry-related murder, marital

rape, selective malnourishment of female children, forced prostitution, female genital mutilation, and sexual

abuse of female children (Ellsberg & Heise, 2005). Research conducts and collected data suggest that in

some countries nearly one in four women experience sexual violence (Jewkes, Sen, & Garcia-Moreno,

2002). Sexual violence has a profound impact on physical and mental health. However, research has yet to

fully investigate this sexual violence problem and tried to reduce it smartly using technology (Mahajan et

al., 2016). This project aims to research on existing works for women security, against women harassment

and to develop a smart wristband which can be affordable and effective to protect women from sexual

violence. In order to investigate about reducing sexual violence, this paper asks to develop a smart system

and use qualitative research method. This paper uses data to empirically investigate how to reduce sexual

violence against women. And the investigation also turns out that only giving any smart technical solution

to reduce sexual violence for any developing countries is not enough until the country is providing women

proper access to information technology. Research of this paper shows gender discrimination is playing a

huge role in developing countries like Mozambique, because of that most of the women do not have

access to technologies. So, this project also aims to provide a possible solution for women to have better

access to technology through the data collected in Mozambique while doing fieldwork.
