High-Heeled Shoes with GPS for Prostitutes.

The workers of the oldest profession in history will be able to wear 
high-heeled shoes equipped with Global Positioning System, emergency 
alarm and liquid-crystal display.

Women who offer sex for money in brothels, cabarets or just in the 
streets have been exposed to a great quantity of dangerous situations 
that have put their own lives in danger since medieval times.

The main objective of the Aphrodite Project is to protect them and it 
promotes the use of equipped high-heeled shoes for dangerous situations. 
With the slogan “Helping sex workers protect themselves”, the people of 
Aphrodite Project show in their web site the footwear with noise alarms 
to frighten away attackers and secret compartments to keep money, keys 
and condoms. These high-heeled shoes also have a GPS, a global 
positioning system for the girls, or rather, for their high-heeled shoes 
to be located in case they don’t come back home.
