Eunpyeong-gu Establishes 'Women Single-Person Household SS Zone'

Creation of 9 SS Zones in 9 Districts for Single Women Households and Single Women Stores... Establishing Safe Women-Friendly Villages to Prevent Rapidly Increasing Crimes Against Women

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) has signed a business agreement with the Eunpyeong-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center to promote the ‘Safe Singles Zone (SS Zone) Creation Project for Single Women Households.’

The ‘Safe Singles Zone Creation Project for Single Women Households’ is a project aimed at preventing the rapidly increasing crimes against women by improving the environment of single women households and single women-run stores, thereby creating a safe women’s village.

Considering areas densely populated by single women households, nine neighborhoods (Nokbeon-dong, Bulgwang 1·2-dong, Galhyeon 1·2-dong, Eungam 3-dong, Yeokchon-dong, Sinsa 1·2-dong) were selected as SS Zones, and the project period is scheduled to continue until the end of this year.

The project targets low-income single women households and single women-run stores.

For single women households, multicultural immigrant women households, single-parent women households, and women victims of crime are also included, and the selected single households will be provided with a ‘Safe Home’ 4-piece set.

The ‘Safe Home’ 4-piece set includes a supplementary front door key, door opening sensor, window lock device, and security bars.

Single women-run stores include beauty salons, nail art shops, snack bars, accessory shops, clothing stores, karaoke rooms, entertainment bars, and other businesses run by single women. Selected single women-run stores will be supported with the installation of an ‘Emergency Bell’ for safe stores.

When the business operator presses the installed emergency bell in an urgent situation, a two-way communication connection is made with the Eunpyeong-gu Integrated Control Center, enabling monitoring and prompt police emergency dispatch and support.

The selection of supported households will be based on installation conditions and comprehensive suitability (including monthly rent deposit, applicant conditions, on-site inspection, etc.).

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “Through the promotion of the Safe Singles Zone Creation Project for Single Women Households, we will make greater efforts to prevent the rapidly increasing crimes against women, improve the environment, and create a safe women’s village.”
