Following the violent gang-rape of a New Delhi woman last year that made international headlines, engineering students in India have created anti-rape underwear that they say will prevent sexual assault.

Called Society Harnessing Equipment, or SHE, the device will deliver up to 82 electric shocks of 3,800 kV to an attacker, according to The Times of India. To prevent the wearer from being shocked, SHE's inner side is "insulated with a polymer," according to creators Niladri Basu, Manisha Mohan and Rimpi Tripathy, students at SRM University, Chennai.

The device is also equipped with GPS that can deliver alerts to police and the victim's parents.

"Lawmakers take ages to come up with just laws and even after that, women are unsafe," said Mohan and Tripathy. "Hence, we have initiated the idea of self-defense, which protects the women from domestic, social and workplace harassment."

They added that they plan to incorporate Bluetooth into SHE, so "stress messages" can be sent instantly.

Like it!

We'll see how this plays out on the number of rape statistics.
Call me dubious.

Aside from expence and the indifference of the police in those areas, there is also the possibility of the GPS being hacked and being used to stalk women.

Basically, sociaty change is much more needed than a gimmick like this to create a false sense of securty. It is the government and community leaders that have to step up, send out the message that such acts are not to be tollerated and that women are, gasp, people.

Why is it we have to create tools to stop rape when we could simply kill all the attackers in a gruesome public display? Watch the statistics plummet when you publicly castrate someone without pain killers.

Wouldn't carrying a weapon be better than wearing an electrified garment?

I mean, how does the garment know the difference between "good touch" and "bad touch?"

What happens, for instance, when the lady gets home, exhausted from a long day at work, and shucks out of her clothes to change into her PJs?

And how does one clean such a garment?

The title here alone sounds so fun for inventing.

How about something that sprays pepper spray on the rapist's thing when he opens the woman's underwear?

Won't be long before someone learns how to break it, and then proceed with the rape.
