Subject Gangdong-gu, a women friendly city

The deeper the night, the more likely the park will turn into a place of derailment or a safety blind spot.

However, in Gangdong-gu, Thanks to a clever bench that shines brightly at nights, I am not afraid to take a walk at night.

When I walk the promenade leisurely, I can take a break at the bench. It it seems like a bench, but this guy has a special ability.

Four solar panels (250W class) placed on the bench generate electricity by receiving sunlight, After the sun goes down, the lights next to the bench and the bottom lights up! Emergency bell to inform emergency crisis and wired and wireless smart phone charging function is equipped.
Is it really just a "solar smart bench"? Currently, as a part of the women's safety project, we are piloting only one park in a castle town. It is said that it will gradually expand with the reaction and opinion of the citizens.

In April last year, Gangdong-gu enacted the 'Women-Friendly City Creation Project' in Gangdong-gu, and in Seoul we are carrying out various projects to create a livable urban environment for women.

In May last year, after the female crime incident in the public restroom near Gangnam Station, Gangdong-gu established a smart security zone (beacon) for the first time in Seoul as part of the measures to secure women's safety.

We are expanding the number of beacons using wireless local area network to 139 public toilets, public parks and public parking lots, helping to eliminate safety blind spots.

In addition to this, we selected 100 women-friendly city supporters. We monitor the inconveniences in life from the perspective of women.

Various suggestions and opinions are collected and reflected in the policy. Gangdong-gu works hard for a woman-friendly city! Finally, in December, Gangdong-gu was designated as a "women-friendly city" by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family!

Gangdong-gu has recently signed a women-friendly city business agreement with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. By 2021, we plan to promote 73 women-friendly core businesses in five areas in various ways!

The five areas are: building a foundation for promoting gender equality policies; expanding women's economic and social participation; promoting community safety; building a family-friendly environment; and strengthening women's community activities.

First of all, this year, we will expand the 'Women's Safety Village' to the whole area! There are 18 women's safety villages that have been built for the three castles of Gangnae-dong, Cheonho-dong, and Amsa-dong, which have high distribution patterns of multi-family houses and multi-family houses.

Safety patrol of the Mami patrol is carried out in the women safe village, Crime Prevention Environmental Design (CPTED) is applied to reduce the crime rate, such as the creation of murals and the application of fluorescent materials to prevent theft.

In addition to this, the Gangdong Women's New Work Center is operated and the job fair is held. They help women find suitable jobs so that they do not get fired.

We also conduct 'gender equality education' for residents as well as public servants. Gangdong-gu uses local environment and resources. Gangdong-gu is going to do its best to create a Gangdong-style women-friendly city.

Gangdong-gu is always open to your various opinions! Why don’t we make a safe and happy city together?
