Indian Students Invent ‘Anti-Rapè’ Underwear For Women Which Gives Rapists Electric Shock

The invention of this underwear is actually a welcome idea in this
generation where rape cases are increasing. The underwear which came
out from idea is not a surprise onsidering the increasing rape
incidents in India.
Women must do whatever it takes to protect their dignity as human.
The UK Sun Reports;
THREE engineering students have come up with"anti-rape" underwear that
gives an electric shock to attackers AND alerts cops.
The trio designed a camisole underwired with a technology that can
deliver up to 82 electric shocks. The garment has pressure sensors
sewn in around the bust area that detect groping hands and send out
the shock– which has the strength of a stun gun.
The product also sends a message to police as well as to the family of
the victim.
The undergarment – dubbed Society Harnessing Equipment or SHE – was
created by trainee automobile engineers from Chennai, India after the
fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student on a New Delhi
bus last December.
Last month a Swiss woman was attacked in the country and a British
tourist told how she jumped out of her hotel window fearing a man was
trying to molest her. Co-inventor Manisha Mohan said: "A person trying
to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment pressure
sensors get activated."
She explained that she and colleagues Niladri Basu and Rimpi Tripathy
decided to put the wiring into the clothing after a survey showed most
women were first groped on their breasts.
The women are protected from the current by polymer insulation in the
bra. The makers are currently fine-tuning the design – hoping the
garment will be on sale by the end of this month.
"Studying in a convent girls' school, we were always taught to be good
to everyone around and bear a cheerful smile.
"After stepping into the real, cruel world we realised that our smile
could not last for long as the threat to our purity and integrity
always lingered on.
"Lawmakers take ages to come up with just laws and even after that,
women are unsafe. Hence, we have initiated the idea of self-defence,
which protects the women from domestic, social and workplace
harassment." A very welcome idea i must say.
