After disabling the assailant, the undergarment has been designed to automatically send a text message to police or family members containing the GPS location of the attempted crime. Pressure sensors on the garment, sewn in around the bust area, detect unwanted force and trigger the powerful shock. It can deliver up to 82 electric shocks, more than enough to disable any attacker. Rape-proof: Three Indian engineering students have created underwear which gives any would-be attacker a 3,800 kilovolt shock Rape-proof: Three Indian engineering students have created underwear which gives any would-be attacker a 3,800 kilovolt shock Manisha Mohan, who helped develop the product, told The Times of India: 'The lingerie with global positioning system, global system for mobile communications and also pressure sensors is capable of sending shock waves of 3,800 kV as well as alerts to parents and police. 'A person trying to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment pressure sensors get activated, and the GPS and GSM modules would send an SMS (to the Indian emergency number) as well as to parents of the girl'. The clothing is fitted with an electronic sensor around the bra area The clothing is fitted with an electronic sensor around the bra area which delivers the powerful shock when activated Details of the device, which were published on the Indian technology website Techpedia, show how the electric shock circuit board, is 'placed near the bosom' after a survey found that attackers usually grab a woman in that area as they initiate a rape attack. Ms Mohan added: '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 realized that our smile could not last for long as the threat to our purity and integrity always lingered on. 'Since the law makers take ages to come up with just laws and even after that, women are unsafe. Hence, we have initiated the idea of self‐defense which protects the women from domestic, social and workplace harassment.' India has seen a spate of rapes in recent months including the gang rape and beating of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student who later died. That case sparked huge protests and widespread condemnation of the government and judiciary for their failure to protect women. Rimpi Tripathy Manisha Mohan Last month a Swiss Woman was attacked and a British tourist told how she was forced to jump out of her hotel window when a man attempted to attack her. The surge in violence against women is believed to be having a serious effect on the country's tourism industry. A recent study found that that in the last three months, the number of foreigners travelling to India has fallen by 25 per cent with the number of female tourists down by 35 per cent. The comments below have been moderated in advance. I'm no scientist but if someone is grabbing the victims arm with one hand and triggers the pressure pad for the electric shock with the other.......won't the electric shock be passed to the victim and 'disable' them too? I think the Indian government should be doing more to change their citizens atttudes towards women and rape rather then coming up with these 'inventions'.+38 - Duoue , Leeds, United Kingdom, The anti-rape accessory thats best is a revolver. Its so effective the government bans you from having them ladies. Time to swear off sex nationwide until they respect your right to defend your own lives in a real way. India needs a second amendment. Note: Throwing water on the victim is sort of goingt to foible this device, and might hurt the wearer. Though I do like the automatic nature of it.+56 - Bukkiah Golden , Boson, United States, Anti-rape underwear which delivers a 3,800 kilovolt shock to any would-be attacker has been created by a team of Indian engineering students. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why don't you just try fixing the issue instead? Anti-rape underwear? That's like putting a bandaid on a broken leg. I'd carry an assault rifle before I'd wear this crap. In the words of Dirty Harry, "go ahead, make my day".+63 - LyndaB , Naugatuck USA, The real problem is and always has been, the blatant fact that these people are so sexually repressed that it drives some people to do things they would never think possible! Complete physiological oppression against human nature and a religion that says whatever you do, is wrong, you're a sinner. Also, the media and movies constantly reinforce the fact that sex is great, sex is what everyone does, if youre not doing it, youre a loser. This is a terribly violent world we live in and I see this all the time on DM and I don't see anyone doing anything about it. Is it that people have lost hope, or they just don't think they can change the mind of ignorant masses such as this?
