Pohang City Promotes 'Smart Safety Keeper Project' for Single Women Households

Prevention of Crimes Against Women and Alleviation of Anxiety

Support for Smart Devices and Security Equipment

Pohang City is promoting the ‘Smart Safety Keeper Project’ targeting 20 single-woman households to prevent the rapidly increasing various crimes against women and to eliminate blind spots in victim protection.

Pohang City Women's Single-Person Household Smart Safety Keeper Project.

To alleviate the anxiety of single-woman households caused by crimes such as stalking and dating violence, the city has signed an agreement with a security company to provide smart devices and security equipment (door cameras, window locks, SOS emergency buttons) and support service fees for up to one year.

Applications can be made on the Pohang City Family Center website. Eligible applicants are single-woman households residing in Pohang City according to their resident registration certificate, with Wi-Fi installed at home, and households that can maintain a contract for more than one year (no penalty for early termination) are given priority.

A Pohang City official said, “We expect this project to prevent crimes against women and remove psychological anxiety factors, thereby creating a safe residential environment.”

With the Act on the Prevention of Stalking and Protection of Victims coming into effect in July, Pohang City is urgently operating a program support center that provides treatment recovery and psychological counseling for stalking victims, and plans to expand one emergency shelter for temporarily protecting women victims of violence next year.
