The Aphrodite Project has taken the concept of wearable technology forward into an area which is both practical and with safety in mind. The Wi-fi technology has been built into fashionable platform sandals made for sex workers. Each sandal has an audible alarm system, which when activated emits a piercing noise to scare off attackers. The sandals are also fitted with a built in GPS receiver and an emergency button that relays both the location of the shoes and a silent alarm signal to public emergency services. Depending on the legality of prostitution, if law enforcement cannot be used the signal goes to sex workers' rights groups, such as PONY in New York, COYOTE in Los Angeles, or SWEAT in South Africa. Similar GPS technology has now been put to security purpose on some US university campuses with the Rave Wireless’s Rave Guardian, which allows students to use their mobile phone as a personal alarm device.
One small step....
