Gangdong-gu Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon Encourages Female Safety Scout Volunteers and Inspects Safe Return Home Support Service on the Night of the 12th

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Lee Jung-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, encouraged the Safe Return Home Scout members and accompanied residents who applied for return support to inspect the women and youth safe return home support service by serving as a one-day night Safe Return Home Scout on the 12th.

Since March, the district has been recruiting new members to support the Safe Return Home service, accompanying women and youth who return home alone late at night. The members are currently active around 10 bases, providing not only return support but also crime prevention activities such as patrolling high-risk areas.

Jang**, a 28-year-old resident of Amsa-dong who applied for and accompanied the Safe Return Home service that day, said, “Sometimes I work late at night, and while walking from the subway station to my home with the Scout members, my anxiety decreased. Now, when I see the Safe Return Home Scout members wearing yellow hats and vests, I feel glad and reassured.”

Lee Jung-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, who accompanied as a one-day Safe Return Home Scout member, said, “I sincerely thank the Scout members who take responsibility for the safety of the residents late at night,” adding, “In addition to Safe Return Home support, we will do our best to establish a safety network so that residents can live with more peace of mind, including Safe Return Home paths, emergency safety bells, and women’s safe delivery boxes.”

Accompaniment with Safe Return Home Scout members is from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Mondays, and from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day from Tuesday to Friday.

Before arriving at the designated location, you can call the Gangdong-gu Office situation room or use the 24-hour women’s safety network ‘Ansim-i App.’
