Guardians for Safe Night Streets!... Jungnang-gu 'Safe Return Home Scouts' Operation

Since the 6th, Resumption of Women’s Safe Return Scout Service... 17 Women’s Safe Return Scouts Form 8 Teams of Two for Activities

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] We will be a reliable ally for safe returns home on dark nights!

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) announced that it has started operating the Women’s Safe Return Home Scouts from the 6th.

This comes about two months after suspending operations due to social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The Women’s Safe Return Home Scouts support the safe return of women and adolescents returning home late at night and also patrol safety-vulnerable areas. The scouts operate in teams of two, with a total of eight teams, and the district hires female scouts to provide social participation opportunities for women with career interruptions.

The activity locations include major subway stations such as Mangu Station and Junghwa Station, as well as bus stops. Women and adolescents who wish to receive support can call the Ansim-i app or the Jungnang-gu Office Situation Room (☎2094-1148) or the 120 Dasan Call Center from 10 PM to 12 AM on Mondays, and from 10 PM to 1 AM from Tuesday to Friday. However, support can only be provided if requested at least 30 minutes before arriving at the drop-off station.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “In addition to safe return support, we are implementing measures such as maintaining a minimum distance of 2 meters and mandatory mask-wearing in accordance with social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure a daily life safe from crime and viruses.”

Last year, Jungnang-gu provided a total of 14,696 safe return home services, receiving great responses from residents.
