Seoul's Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Lee Soonhee) is implementing the "Home Security (CCTV) Service Installation Support Project" to strengthen the safety of victims of gender-based violence, such as stalking and dating violence.

This project is being carried out in cooperation with the Gangbuk-gu Office, Gangbuk Police Station, and a professional security company. It provides victims of gender-based violence with front door closed-circuit (CC) TV, emergency bells, and a 24-hour emergency dispatch service free of charge for one year.

The "Home Security Service" allows real-time monitoring of the area in front of the door, features a loitering detection and alert system, and offers a 24-hour emergency dispatch system. If a victim makes an emergency report via the app or emergency bell, the security company's control center receives the alert and dispatches the nearest personnel. If necessary, the police will also respond on site together with the security team.

The support is available to victims of gender-based violence?including sexual violence, domestic violence, stalking, and dating violence?who reside in Gangbuk-gu. However, victims of stalking arising from debt disputes or noise between floors are excluded from eligibility.

Those seeking support can apply by first reporting their case to Gangbuk Police Station and then submitting a linked application. If the gender-based violence case was reported to another police station, applicants can visit the Women's and Family Division at the district office with a report receipt or incident confirmation document to apply. For further information, contact the Women's and Family Division at 02-901-6693.

Meanwhile, the district also provided home security services to 28 victims of gender-based violence last year.
