Installing privacy screens inside restroom stalls has made it possible to prevent illegal hidden camera recordings.

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Lee Chang-woo) will complete the installation of anti-illegal filming safety screens by the 17th of this month to ensure residents can use public restrooms safely and conveniently.

The safety screen is a device that prevents filming with mobile phones or other devices under the restroom partitions, aiming to prevent illegal filming crimes that have not yet been eradicated and to alleviate the anxiety of residents using public restrooms.

In particular, this project is more meaningful as it was selected as part of the '2020 Seoul City Public Restroom Citizen Participation Budget,' with residents participating in the entire process from project proposal to budget allocation.

The public restrooms where safety screens will be installed include six park-side restrooms: ▲Chamsae Children's Park Public Restroom (Daebang-dong) ▲Dongjak Parking Park Public Restroom ▲Guksabong Public Restroom (Sangdo Neighborhood Park), and four roadside public restrooms: ▲Isugyo Public Restroom (Dongjak-daero) ▲Sayuksin Park Public Restroom (Noryangjin-ro) ▲Sadang 5-dong Public Restroom (Solbat-ro), totaling 10 locations.

Additionally, to enhance convenience facilities within the restrooms, water-saving faucets and diaper changing stations in men's restrooms will be installed concurrently.

Meanwhile, the district conducts quarterly hygiene inspections on a total of 50 locations, including 15 public restrooms and 35 privately opened restrooms, to prevent COVID-19 infections, and thoroughly disinfects frequently touched facilities such as doors and toilets 2 to 3 times daily.

Lee Kwang-jung, Director of the Cleaning Administration Division, stated, “With the installation of safety screens in public restrooms, prevention of digital sex crimes such as illegal filming has become possible. We will strive to create public restrooms that residents can use with peace of mind.”
