Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it will strengthen its women’s safety initiatives to accelerate the creation of a safe city for single-woman households.

First, on the 30th of last month, the district held a ‘Women’s Safety Task Force (T/F)’ meeting with related organizations including the Yeongdeungpo Police Station and the Resident Participation Group to firmly establish a cooperative system and social safety net. The purpose was to share projects being promoted by the public, private, and police sectors under the common goal of enhancing women’s safety and to operate them in an integrated manner.

At the meeting, future cooperation matters were discussed focusing on ‘ensuring safe mobility,’ including the selection of new safe return routes for 2024 and the designation of priority CCTV monitoring zones.

Following the meeting, the district plans to strengthen women’s safety projects by adding four more Safe Keeper Houses this year, establishing two new safe return routes, and expanding locations for renting illegal filming detectors in restrooms.

Additionally, to prevent crimes against women and create a safe residential environment, the district will produce a “Safe Yeongdeungpo at Your Fingertips” brochure to be distributed to the police station, local police sub-stations, and community service centers.

The brochure includes information on ▲free rental of illegal filming detectors ▲safe return scouts ▲locations of safe delivery lockers ▲smart security lights ▲return home monitoring ▲support projects for safety equipment (window locks, portable alarms, smart door sensors).

Going forward, the district plans to continuously discover and promote various collaborative projects with the ‘Women’s Safety Task Force (T/F)’ focusing on ▲ensuring women’s safe mobility ▲creating safe spaces ▲strengthening women’s safety response and activity capabilities ▲building women’s safety networks ▲and creating violence-free safe villages.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “Through various women’s safety projects, we will do our best to reduce the anxiety and worries of women living alone or returning home late at night. We will continue to develop policies that protect residents’ safety in daily life as well as practical crime prevention, making Yeongdeungpo-gu a place where everyone can live with peace of mind.”
