This inspection was held due to concerns about the crime of taking pictures or videos without permission. This concern occurred because of the last year’s incident ? a case related to taking inappropriate pictures. After the search, there was a campaign in front of the Student Hall, with participants handing out folders containing the information that taking pictures without permission is illegal.
This event was held in accordance with the pledge of the Student Council, Siwon. However, the Council expressed disappointment about this event to the officials since the public was notified before the event in the form of a banner. One member of Siwon said that this notification increased the possibility of perpetrators removing their cameras in advance. In response to this criticism, Jong-su Park, the Action Officer for Women’s Policy, answered that there will be more careful consideration regarding advertisement next time the event is held. Park also promised that this kind of inspection and improvement of social awareness will take place more often in the future.
