China News Service, Seoul, September 28 (Reporter Liu Xu) China News Service reporter learned on the 28th local time that the Seoul Metropolitan Government will open three stalking and stalking victim protection facilities in October, which is the first of its kind in South Korea.
The three facilities specifically include two facilities for women (10 persons) and one facility for men (4 persons).
Protective facilities are used to prevent stalking victims from threats such as home invasions, to ensure their personal safety, and to provide victims with psychological treatment to help them return to their normal lives.
According to reports, most of the existing protection facilities in South Korea are non-public facilities. In order to prevent victims from being located, they will restrict victims from using mobile phones or going out, making it difficult for victims to return to normal life.
The biggest feature of the protection facility to be opened next month is to provide a safe space for victims to maintain their original normal life, such as commuting, going out and using mobile phones.
It is worth mentioning that the male stalking victim protection facility to be opened this time is the first male victim protection facility in Korea.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government explained that male stalking victims usually have no other protection facilities other than temporary shelters, and most of the temporary shelters are connected to protection facilities for rough sleepers.
Therefore, it is extremely necessary to establish protective facilities for male victims of sexual violence, domestic violence, stalking, etc.
In addition, the Seoul Metropolitan Government will implement the "One-stop Support Service Project for Tracking and Stalking Victims" from next year, integrating existing distributed services and building a large network.
Through this program, stalking victims can receive customized services such as psychological, legal, medical and companion support with a single application.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government will also promote a companion service next year to accompany victims of stalking and stalking to and from get off work, and then gradually expand the scope of security protection and the number of companions.
At the same time, the Seoul Metropolitan Government will establish a comprehensive security measure system for victims, and provide indoor and outdoor residential intrusion prevention and personal safety security equipment services for stalking and stalking victims, such as security electronic applications and security emergency bells using IT technology.
The director of the Seoul Women's Family Policy Office said: "Seoul City will build a network covering counseling centers, protection facilities, etc., actively cooperate with the police, strengthen joint response capabilities, and regularly meet with stalking and stalking victims, continue to monitor, and build a post-management system. etc., to prevent the recurrence of stalking and stalking, and further consolidate the support system for stalking and stalking victims.” (End)
