Even in today's world, women in countries all around the world face harassment at least once in their lifetime. This has been a major problem ever since civilization came into being and many solutions and tools have been provided to resolve this problem. Moreover, with the advancement in technology, newer solutions have appeared. In this work, we have created a website with several features designed to provide women with the needed information and raise awareness about crime against them. “Women Safety with Sofiya” is a website that provides information about the existing safety tools, mobile-based applications, and other websites that provide women the information about safety resources and ways to protect themselves. Additionally, users can also share reviews of specific places, report unsafe locations, and describe their personal experiences using our website. This helps raise awareness, support other women, and create a safer community through shared knowledge. It is a unique repository in which we have compiled information about existing tools (with links to buy or use them), mobile-apps (with links to download them) and websites designed specifically for women. It also lists the help-hotline numbers for countries with high crime rates against women. This serves as a unified, one-stop portal, eliminating the need to search for scattered information across multiple platforms.
