Women Safety | Tools by Nikamay Guardian

Despite the heap of sos alarm buttons and apps of the past several years, pepper spray continues to be the status quo of self-defense gadgets for women. Why hasn’t a more reliable and universal self defense tool surfaced?

Close combat is one reason potential victims hesitate, even when using supposedly non-lethal tools like pepper spray or taser. But whistles and horns have their own issues, necessitating “dramatic,” potentially public action, a challenging step for most people. They ask users to make aggressive decisions quickly, rather than on an escalating scale.

It’s nice to have an additional safety while walking home at night, this initiative fundamentally fails to address the main reason women feel unsafe at night.
