It's a sad thing that we don't raise our boys well to respect women, and blame a rape victim instead. Since changing our mentality towards molestation and rape will take a long time to change, inventors across the world have come with some cool and effective anti-rape devices that can severely harm the assailant.
2/9
Society Harnessing Equipment (SHE)--This device developed by a team of Indians is a shock delivering a bra. This bra is fitted with a pressure sensor that can distinguish between a hug and squeezing, pinching, and grabbing. It is connected to an electric circuit and can deliver a shock of 3800 kV, severely burning the assailant. SHE can also send an alert message to the victim's friends or family along with GPS co-ordinates of their location. This device is safe for the user as it is made from a bi-layer fabric that provides insulation.
3/9
Femdefence tampon--This scary looking device was designed in Sweden and can be inserted into the vagina like a tampon. The device has a sharp pin at one end that can penetrate the penis and severely injure the assailant. However, it is designed in such a way that it doesn't harm the wearer.
4/9
Rape axe condom--This condom is to be worn by a woman and contains sharp teeth like structures that penetrate the assailant's penis.
5/9
Anti-rape panties--These panties are like regular panties but are made of a material that is difficult to tear, cut and pull. The waistline, thighs and the central area of the panties are made with a unique webbing structure that makes the garment difficult to remove by a stranger. The panties also contain locks that can be removed by a combination known only to the wearer.
6/9
Anti-rape sandals--These sandals are designed by college girls in Uttar Pradesh and deliver an electric shock to the attacker that can immobilise them for a few seconds. All the victim has to do is hit the attacker with the sandals and GPS system fitted in it will help track the victim's location and send an SOS message to those specified as the wearers emergency contact numbers.
7/9
Anti-rape jeans--Two other girls studying at the same engineering college as the one that designed anti-rape sandals came up with a device that can be sewn into jeans. This device too delivers an electric shock and alerts the victim's emergency contact numbers saved in their phone.
8/9
Anti-rape buckle--This belt has a complicated lock that is difficult to unlock and can prevent the rapist from attacking the victim. However, it can irritate the assailant even more, and the victim may face even more abuse.
9/9
Anti-molestation Jacket--This jacket was also designed by two Indian students from the National Institute of Fashion Technology. It is like any other ordinary jacket but can deliver a mild jolt of 110 kV and stun the attacker momentarily. The jacket is fitted with metallic embellishments that help to conduct the charge to the surface of the jacket when the assailant touches some of the contact points.
