Seodaemun-gu Supports Single Women Households with 'Safe Home 5-Piece Set' Including Auxiliary Door Locks

Auxiliary Front Door Key, Security Window Bars, Window Locks, Door Opening Sensors, Portable Emergency Bells, etc.

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) is collaborating with the Seodaemun-gu Healthy Family Support Center to promote the so-called ‘Wise Women’s Safety Living Project,’ which provides the ‘Safe Home 5-piece Set.’

The 5-piece set includes ▲auxiliary door key ▲security window bars ▲window locking device ▲‘door opening sensor’ that sends a notification to a mobile phone when the door is opened from outside ▲‘portable emergency bell’ that sounds an alarm and sends a text message to 112 and acquaintances when pressed in an emergency.

The support targets women living alone and legally single-parent households residing in rental housing in the pilot areas of Seodaemun-gu SS Zone (Safe Singles Zone) in Sinchon-dong, Yeonhui-dong, and Namgajwa 2-dong, which are densely populated with houses, villas, and one-room apartments. However, the converted jeonse (long-term deposit lease) value of the residence must be 150 million KRW or less. The district was selected in Seoul’s ‘2020 Women’s Safe Village Contest’ and is carrying out this project.

Those who wish to receive support for security facilities can download the application form from the Seodaemun-gu website’s notice section, fill it out, and send it by email (sdmmcc@daum.net) from July 10 to July 31.

The district will select 100 households considering housing type and safety vulnerability among applicants and provide the ‘Safe Home 5-piece Set.’ Depending on circumstances, applicants can choose to apply for all or some of the five items. Installation services are provided for the auxiliary door key and security window bars.

In addition, Seodaemun-gu is making various efforts to prevent crimes against women such as home intrusion and violence and to create a safe residential environment for residents.

In April this year, the district enacted the ‘Ordinance on the Creation of a Women-Friendly City in Seodaemun-gu’ to support budgets for projects that prevent crimes against women and illegal filming.

The district is also installing and replacing security CCTV, LED security lights, and logo projectors on women’s safe return paths within the area.

Furthermore, various projects are being promoted to enhance the sense of safety in daily life, including ▲creating safe paths applying CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) techniques ▲safe return scouts and safety guards ▲women’s safe delivery boxes ▲monitoring illegal filming by the ‘Safe Resident Participation Group.’

Mayor Moon Seok-jin stated, “We will continue to proactively respond to create a Seodaemun where all residents, including women living alone, can feel safe.”
