Suwon to Intensify 'Women's Safety Package' Project

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Joon-sung] Suwon City will provide 'Women's Safety Package' including window locks, portable emergency bells, and security alarms to crime victims and single-woman households.

Suwon City will recruit approximately 400 households to participate in the 'Suwon Women's Safety Package Support Project' from September 2 to 13. The target beneficiaries are crime victims, single-woman households, and single-mother households.

The city will provide basic support including window locks inserted between window frames, portable emergency bells that transmit location in real-time to up to five phone numbers, and security alarms. In addition to basic items, beneficiaries can choose one of Set A or Set B.

First priority is given to crime victims of stalking, dating violence, and residential intrusion. Second priority is for single-woman households and single-mother households living in rental properties with deposit or jeonse (lease deposit) of 150 million won or less. Third priority is for single-woman households and single-mother households living in owner-occupied homes with a declared land value of 150 million won or less.

Applications can be made from 9 a.m. on September 2 to 6 p.m. on September 13 through Saebbit Talktak, the Suwon City website (www.suwon.go.kr), or the Gyeonggi Civil Affairs Portal (https://gg24.gg.go.kr).
