Yoon Hye-young, Gwangsan District Council Member, Passes Ordinance Amendment to Block Illegal Filming in Public Restrooms

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The “Partial Amendment to the Gwangsan-gu Public Restroom Installation and Management Ordinance,” proposed by Yoon Hye-young, a member of the Gwangsan-gu Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City, was passed at the 2nd plenary session of the 263rd extraordinary meeting on the 15th.

This ordinance was proposed to prevent illegal filming in public restrooms, which has recently become a serious social issue, and to create a safe usage environment.

The main content requires regular inspections of emergency alert devices (safety bells) installed in public restrooms for any malfunctions and checks for the installation of illegal filming devices to ensure a safe usage environment.

Additionally, safety privacy panels that seal the empty space at the bottom of restroom partitions will be installed to prevent illegal filming using smartphones or other illegal devices in advance.

Councilor Yoon said, “As digital sex crimes have increased recently, it has become difficult for women to use public restrooms with peace of mind. We will regularly inspect the installation of illegal filming devices to fundamentally block illegal filming crimes and continue to pay attention and make efforts so that citizens can safely use public restrooms.”
