[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 2nd that it has installed safety screens to prevent illegal filming in 25 public park restrooms to ensure that citizens can use public restrooms safely and conveniently.

The safety screen installation project was carried out to prevent illegal filming crimes, which have been continuously occurring through the open lower sections of restroom partitions, and to create a safe environment where public restrooms can be used with peace of mind.

The restrooms where the screens were installed this time include 25 locations such as Surowangneung, Sineosan Forest Bathing Area, and Naedong Park. After confirming public restrooms without installations through a demand survey by the department in charge of public restrooms, the Women-Friendly City Citizen Participation Group inspected 56 public restrooms in parks and selected the necessary restrooms.

Park Jong-ju, head of the Women and Family Division, said, "We will continue to expand the installation of safety screens to alleviate citizens' anxiety when using restrooms."
