Gwangju Buk-gu, Operation of Free Sanitary Product Dispensers for Women

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 24th that it has installed free emergency female hygiene product dispensers in five public institution women's restrooms to alleviate inconveniences experienced by women in daily life.

The free female hygiene product dispensers are operated to support women's health rights and convenience by providing female hygiene products in emergency situations, contributing to the creation of a women-friendly city.

In September last year, Buk-gu revised the "Gwangju Metropolitan City Buk-gu Gender Equality Basic Ordinance" and established a basis for stocking female hygiene products in public restrooms.

Accordingly, considering the demand for public institution restrooms and regional distribution, free hygiene product dispensers were installed in five women's restrooms: Buk-gu Office, Ilgok Library, Unam Library, Youth Training Center, and Sihwa Cultural Village Cultural Center, with a total of five units in operation.

The free hygiene product dispensers can be used free of charge by anyone visiting the women's restrooms during the respective institution's business hours.

Buk-gu plans to actively promote the stocking of female hygiene products so that many residents are aware of it and will consider expanding the installation based on operational results such as usage status and required quantities in the future.

Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, "We will continue to implement various policies that consider women in daily life and create a women-friendly Buk-gu."
