Gwanak-gu Supports Single Women Households with 'Safe Home 3-Piece Set'

Supplementary Front Door Key, Door Opening Sensor, and Portable Emergency Bell 3-Piece Set Provided Together... For Women Living Alone in Gwanak-gu in Rental Houses Under 150 Million KRW

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is expanding and implementing the ‘Women Single-Person Household Safe Home 3-Piece Set Support Project’ to support the safe residential life of women living alone.

The district announced that due to a surge in requests for expanded support for women single-person households and the continued high demand for safety projects, the support target has been expanded from 200 households last year to 500 households this year.

The Safe Home Set Support Project consists of three items: ▲ a double locking device ‘auxiliary front door key’ ▲ a ‘door opening sensor’ that sends a text message to acquaintances along with an alarm sound when the door is opened from outside ▲ a ‘portable emergency bell’ that, when pulled in an emergency, automatically sends an emergency message with an alarm sound to acquaintances and 112.

The support target is women single-person households residing in Gwanak-gu, and anyone living in a house with a jeonse deposit (jeonse converted price) of less than 150 million KRW can apply.

Women single-person households who wish to apply can check the Gwanak-gu Office official website (News & Notices → Public Announcements), download and fill out the application form, and then submit it via email to the person in charge (wys550@ga.go.kr) or by fax.

Meanwhile, the district is promoting various projects not only for women single-person households but also for all women to create a safe city where they can live comfortably and securely. These include support for women single-person store safe bells, women safe return scouts, women safe delivery boxes, women safe keeper houses, illegal filming camera inspection equipment rental services, and neighborhood women safety meetings. The district is also continuously discussing comprehensive measures to enhance women’s safety in cooperation with related organizations such as the Gwanak Police Station.

Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “In the second year since being designated a women-friendly city, we are dedicated to various projects to create a safe environment where all women can live with peace of mind. We will actively promote Gwanak-type women’s safety projects based on local characteristics and residents’ needs to build a happy city for women in Gwanak.”
