To Prevent Digital Sex Crimes... 15 Public Restrooms to Have Additional Safety Screens Installed
Partitions Block Space to Eradicate Illegal Filming, Built Seamlessly at Top and Bottom
Focus on Leisure Facilities like Achasan and Culture & Sports Centers... 'Women’s Safety Restrooms' Installed to Alleviate Concerns

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has installed ‘Safe Screens in Public Restrooms’ to prevent digital sex crimes such as illegal filming.

The ‘Safe Screen’ is a device that blocks illegal filming using mobile phones by filling the gaps at the top and bottom of restroom partitions. The district expanded the installation of these screens to alleviate the anxiety of women using public restrooms.

The target locations are 15 public restrooms within the district. They were selected mainly in leisure facilities with high foot traffic, such as Achasan, Gwangjin Culture and Arts Center, Jayang Hangang Library, and Junggok Culture and Sports Center.

The screens display warning signs informing about the penalties for illegal filming. Additionally, restrooms equipped with Safe Screens have signs indicating ‘Women’s Safe Restroom’ to reduce users’ concerns.

District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho stated, “Digital sex crimes cause significant mental distress to victims, so social prevention measures are important. We will do our best to create public spaces that anyone can use safely.”

The district has completed the installation of Safe Screens in 64 out of 93 women’s public restrooms. Moving forward, they plan to continue establishing safety measures to prevent illegal filming and block digital sex crimes.
