Hwasun-gun Installs 'Safe Mirrors' in 100 Locations Including Public Restrooms
[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 19th that it has installed safety mirrors in secluded alleys, villa complexes, and public restrooms.
Safety mirrors are mirror sheets that allow users to check if someone is following them when using buildings and public restrooms.
The safety mirror installation project was promoted as part of the women-friendly city creation initiative.
Before installing the safety mirrors, the county office's Environment Department, Hwasun-gun Women-Friendly City Citizen Participation Group, and Hwasun Police Station cooperated to conduct a preliminary survey of crime-vulnerable areas and selected installation locations.
A total of 100 safety mirrors were installed: 73 in villa complexes and secluded alleys, and 27 in public restrooms. These mirrors are expected to deter criminal psychology, prevent sexual crimes, and provide psychological stability by allowing pedestrians to check if someone is behind them.
