Gwangju Buk-gu Installs Women’s Safety Mirrors at 40 Locations Including Park Restrooms

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Moon In) announced on the 7th that it has installed women’s safety mirrors to ensure the safety of residents vulnerable to crimes, including women.

This installation of women’s safety mirrors was carried out as part of the women-friendly city creation project, following preliminary investigations and recommendations on crime-prone areas in collaboration with the Northern Police Station and the Women-Friendly City Citizen Participation Group.

A total of 40 locations, including 20 one-room units with the owners’ consent and 20 park restrooms, were targeted, where convex mirrors reflecting the area behind when entering buildings were installed at entrances and restroom doors.

Buk-gu expects that the safety mirrors will provide psychological stability to entrants and help prevent crimes by reflecting the faces of criminals in case of emergencies, thereby deterring criminal acts.

Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “These women’s safety mirrors will help alleviate the anxiety of women and other vulnerable groups and protect their safety from crimes,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to create a women-friendly city where women can live safely.”
