Suwon City Protects Safety of Single Women Households... Supports 'Safety Package'

Suwon City Women's Single-Person Household Safety Package Support Project Information Poster

The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province will provide safety items such as window locks and portable emergency bells to single-woman households.

From the 9th to the 23rd of this month, Suwon City is recruiting about 240 households to participate in the "Single-Woman Household Safety Package Support Project." This project provides "safety items" to single-woman households vulnerable to crime.

The basic support includes window locks that fit between window frames and portable emergency bells that send real-time location information to up to five phone numbers. In addition to the basic items, recipients can choose one set from either Set A or Set B.

Set A consists of a "smart door sensor" that sends real-time alerts to a smartphone when the door is opened or closed, and a "smart doorbell" that allows the user to see the visitor on their smartphone when the doorbell rings. Set A can be used in households with Wi-Fi installed.

Set B includes a self-defense spray, a label eraser that can delete personal information on delivery or postal items, and an "LED safety whistle" that emits a loud alarm sound.

Applicants must be single-woman households registered in Suwon City with a monthly rent deposit (converted to jeonse) of 150 million KRW or less.

Selection will be made based on priority, and if priorities are the same, support will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The first priority is victims of crimes such as stalking, dating violence, or home intrusion; the second priority is residents of monthly rent houses or one-room apartments; the third priority is residents of owner-occupied houses, apartments, or officetels with a publicly announced price of 150 million KRW or less.

Applications can be submitted via the Saebit Toktok app, Suwon City website, or Gyeonggi Minwon24 website. Applications can also be made in person at the Women’s Policy Division in the Suwon City Hall annex (241 Hyowon-ro, Paldal-gu).

Applicants must submit the single-woman household safety package application form, consent form for collection and use of personal information, resident registration certificate, lease contract, and police-issued 112 report processing documents for crimes such as dating violence, stalking, or home intrusion.

A Suwon City official stated, "We hope the Women’s Safety Package will help single-woman household members alleviate their fears of crime and live with peace of mind. We will continue to strive to create a safe environment."
