[Asia Economy (Guri) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Guri City in Gyeonggi Province has installed the country's first child abuse reporting box.

On the 11th, Guri City held a delivery ceremony for the installation of the country's first child abuse reporting box, 'JikyeoZONE,' at the Guri City Hall Civil Service Consultation Office with the Guri Police Station and the Korea Violence and Abuse Prevention Association, the city announced on the 12th.

'JikyeoZONE' has been installed in five locations frequently used by the general public: the City Hall General Civil Service Office, Sutaek 1-dong Administrative Welfare Center, Sutaek 3-dong Administrative Welfare Center, Youth Training Center, and Lotte Mart.

Following the delivery ceremony, Guri City will provide installation locations for the 'JikyeoZONE reporting boxes,' the Korea Violence and Abuse Prevention Association will support the boxes and handle the collection and receipt of reports, and the Guri Police Station will manage report reception and follow-up processing.

The 'JikyeoZONE' reporting boxes were established to encourage neighbors and others around to actively report child abuse cases, considering the practical difficulty for abused children to report on their own.

Mayor Ahn Seung-nam of Guri emphasized, "Guri City will not spare policy support to build a continuous child abuse prevention and protection cooperation system in the district, taking this delivery ceremony as an opportunity."
