After the fatal gang molestation of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi
bus last December, 3 Indian engineering students may have found the
solution to protecting one's self from rapists.
The students
designed this camisole – dubbed Society Harnessing Equipment or SHE –
which has pressure sensors sewn in around the bust area to detect
groping hands and send out shock which can be up to 82 electric shocks.
Explaining
their design, 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 bosoms. 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.
