Indian Students Invent ‘anti-rape’underwear To Prevent Women From Rapist by slysinzu(m): 6:57pm On Apr 04, 2013
The astronomical rape incidents in India, I am
not shocked this underwear is
coming out of India. Women must do whatever it takes to protect our
dignity as human, even if it involves shocking or
killing attackers. Yeah, that is how I feel as a
woman when it comes to rape. You try me, I will
kill you with my last breath.

The UK Sun Reports;
THREE engineering students have come up with
“anti-rape” underwear that gives an electric
shock to attackers AND alerts cops.
The trio designed a camisole underwired with a
technology that can deliver up to 82 electric
shocks.
The garment has pressure sensors sewn in
around the bust area that detect groping hands
and send out the shock – which has the strength
of a stun gun.
The product also sends a message to police as
well as to the family of the victim.
The undergarment – dubbed Society Harnessing
Equipment or SHE – was created by trainee
automobile engineers from Chennai, India after
the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old
physiotherapy student on a New Delhi bus last
December.
Last month a Swiss woman was attacked in the
country and a British tourist told how she
jumped out of her hotel window fearing a man
was trying to molest her.
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 breasts.
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.
“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
realised that our smile could not last for long as
the threat to our purity and integrity always
lingered on.
“Lawmakers take ages to come up with just laws
and even after that, women are unsafe. Hence,
we have initiated the idea of self-defence, which
protects the women from domestic, social and
workplace harassment.”
