[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] The Jangseong Police Station (Chief Bae Seung-gwan) recently conducted an inspection of residential facilities for the disabled in cooperation with the county office to prevent human rights violations such as abuse of protected disabled persons by workers at welfare facilities for the disabled, which have been occurring frequently nationwide.

According to the Jangseong Police Station on the 22nd, this inspection focused on identifying cases of verbal abuse, physical assault, sexual harassment, and other damages caused by workers at residential facilities for the disabled, where visits by outsiders have been restricted due to the spread of the COVID-19 infectious disease, and on preventive activities to ensure similar cases do not occur.

They also provided education on preventing human rights violations against the disabled to counselors for the disabled and facility managers.

A representative of the Jangseong Police Station stated, “Verbal abuse, physical assault, and sexual crimes against disabled persons, who are socially vulnerable, are crimes that deserve condemnation,” and added, “We ask for the careful attention of local residents and active reporting to encourage community participation in local security.”
