The large difference in numerical terms justifies the need to find forms of protection and legal protection, and the topic has strongly returned to the surface in our country when the opportunity of measures to punish 'femicide' with aggravating penalties was discussed.

The challenge was to make clothing that is easy to wear and at the same time 'impenetrable' when needed, even if the victim is momentarily unconscious.

AR Wear is currently seeking lenders for its invention through a popular crowdfunding Here is the presentation video:
