The'Stand Next to the People' campaign, launched by the Ilsan Eastern Police Station to prevent illegal filming in the subway, is being criticized.

This campaign, which was independently introduced by the Ilsan East Department, from the 10th, encourages the boarding to be safely front-facing when using escalates, and to stand sideways to secure visibility while traveling. This is a preventive measure as the number of illegally secretly filming women behind escalates increases.

The police said, "It is predicted that illegal shooting crimes in the subway will be reduced by a campaign that seeks cooperation from citizens without cost," and if the crime prevention effect appears after conducting a trial at Jeongbalsan Station on Subway Line 3, other subway stations He said he would expand and operate.


However, as the news became known, voices of criticism are growing, mainly from local women's groups. It is an anachronistic idea that transfers the responsibility of illegal filming to the victim, not the perpetrator.

Goyang Women's Friendship Association said, "(This campaign) is not different from saying that you should not wear short skirts to prevent sexual crimes." "A case in which the lack of gender perspective that the police has shown in the existing illegal filming and cyber sex crime cases is revealed." Pointed out.


In order to criticize the campaign, the Minwoohoe side held a picket with the phrases "Do not stand sideways,'don't shoot", "Why should we be careful", "It is not the viewing angle but the gender perspective that needs to be widened." We also conducted a performance.

When the backlash was raised, the Ilsan-dong department said that the campaign phrase was being reviewed at the level of the Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency, saying, "It means that both men and women should participate. It was not intended to appear as if the cause of illegal filming lies with women." It is known to have done.
