Jang Byung-wan Announces Measures to Eradicate Violence Against Women for a Safer Society for Women

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Representative Jang Byeong-wan (Minsaeng Party, Gwangju Metropolitan City Dongnam-gap) announced the "Measures to Eradicate Violence Against Women for a Safe Society for Women" on the 24th.

Representative Jang Byeong-wan stated, "We take the public's anger and strong demand for severe punishment regarding digital sex crimes such as the Nth Room case very seriously," and added, "We will establish strong measures to eradicate digital sex crimes, especially those targeting minors, including illegal sexual exploitation videos."

First, he promised to enact the "Modified Camera Management Act" to prevent sex crimes caused by illegal filming and protect privacy through regulation of ultra-small cameras.

It has been revealed that modified cameras, which are difficult for others to recognize as cameras, are mostly used for crimes or privacy invasion, except for some undercover reporting for investigative journalism.

Accordingly, by strengthening preventive regulations on modified cameras, it is expected that women will be protected from the fear caused by ultra-small modified cameras.

He plans to establish a "Dedicated Department for Digital Sex Crimes" to thoroughly investigate increasingly sophisticated digital sex crimes and new technologies. The department will prepare investigation guidelines for digital sex crimes and conduct more specialized international cooperation to eradicate digital sex crimes at the root.

He emphasized strengthening punishments for digital sex crimes, especially those targeting minors, by increasing the penalty for possessing sexual exploitation photos or videos of minors from the current one year to five years, and by introducing possession charges for illegal filming materials involving adult female victims.

Representative Jang Byeong-wan said, "Due to the nature of digital sex crimes, where complete deletion is impossible, victims inevitably suffer continuous pain," and added, "From prevention measures against illegal filming through regulation of modified cameras to punishment of digital sex crimes and protection of victims, we will prepare fundamental and thorough measures to protect women and children from digital sex crimes."
