Bohlale Mphahlele, a 16-year-old student from Limpopo, South Africa, has received attention for a safety device she designed: the "Alerting Earpiece."
The design includes a small camera, a GPS tracker, and an alert button. The idea is that the user can press a hidden button. The device would then take a photo of the attacker. It would also send the user's location to trusted contacts and emergency services.
