The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced the ’2016 Women’s Safety Metropolitan City 2.0′ policy with the goal of creating Seoul where all female citizens can live in safety. The policy is designed to analyze and improve major vulnerable areas in women’s safety since 2013, and has been implemented specifically for today’s highly developed society. ’2016 Women’s Safety Metropolitan City 2.0′ also includes policies to create an environment where women can remain safe day and night and suggests ways for women to keep their own safety using up-to-date smart technologies.



In addition, the SMG presented safety services of Seoul to the international community in order to draw attention to women’s safety around the world. To do so, the government attended the 60th UN Commission on the status of Women held at the UN headquarters in New York to present the Women’s Safety Metropolitan City 2.0 and discuss measures for exchanges on women-oriented policies with UN Habitat and UN Women.
