Goheung-gun, Creation of Women-Friendly Safe Restrooms

Installation of 37 Women’s Safety Mirrors and 57 Emergency Bells in Public Restrooms to Prevent Crime and Respond to Emergencies

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Goheung County (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 9th that it has installed women’s safety mirrors and emergency bells in public restrooms to establish a foundation for a women-friendly city where women feel safe.

The safety mirrors installed this time are attached to the restroom entrance doors, allowing pedestrians to check for people behind them through the mirror, which is effective in maintaining psychological stability.

The safety emergency bell operates as a police (112) linked system that, when pressed in an emergency, activates a red light on a warning lamp installed outside the restroom and identifies the location of the restroom by its unique number, enabling the nearest police station to dispatch officers immediately.

The emergency bell installation notice is attached at the restroom entrance along with the warning lamp so that the women’s safety restroom can be identified.

Meanwhile, to create a "Women-Friendly Safety Restroom," the county purchased and distributed 30 illegal filming camera detectors to police stations and town offices, and operates 18 100-won sanitary product vending machines inside women’s restrooms in public facilities.

A county official said, “We will continue to build a social safety net to create a safe and happy women-friendly city for all residents, and we will do our best to create a safe restroom environment so that women and children can use public restrooms with peace of mind.”
