화장실문화시민연대측은 자료에서 “화장실 내 불법촬영의 사례들을 통해서 그 심각성을 절감하고 근절 대책에 대해서 심도 있게 논의했다. 화장실에 작은 구멍을 내어 설치한 소형카메라, 텀블러에 설치하여 화장실에 두고 간 경우, 변기 뚜껑에 아래위 등에 부착 불법촬영을 위한 카메라를 설치한 사례이다(이원업 스파이존스이사). 화장실내 불법촬영을 근절하기 위해서는 무엇보다 시민들의 인식전환이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 홍보에 적극성을 띄어야 하고 화장실에 붙이는 홍보 스티커도 경각심을 깨워준다고 했다.(황선옥 상임고문 소비자 시민모임)”고 소개하고 “그러나 이에 더해 처벌 사례에 대해서 알리고 근절 우수 사례에 대한 홍보가 필요하다.(김주애 시민모니터). 강력한 법적 강화가 중요하지만 직접 신고를 하게 되는 시설관리인의 교육도 강화되어야 한다. 신고를 한 사람이 불이익을 당하지 않도록 신고 매뉴얼이 필요하다.(안성교 작가). 점차 범죄자의 연령이 낮아지는 것을 감안하여 교육을 통한 인식개선 사업은 즉각 이루어져야 할 것”이라고 강조됐다.

표혜령 (화장실문화시민연대, 화장실문화협회) 대표는 “불법촬영은 범죄이므로 범죄가 일어나기 전에 예방을 하기 위해서는 시민의 안전을 책임지는 정부나 경찰의 적극적 예방 사업이 지속적으로 필요하다”면서 “화장실문화협회는 서대문경찰서와 ‘불법촬영 안돼요’캠페인을 지속적으로 벌이고 있으며 6월5일에는 양천경찰서와도 불법찰영근절 캠페인을 펼칠 계획”이라고 말했다.

Reporter Park Jeong-dae

In a press release on May 29, the Toilet Culture Citizens’ Coalition announced, “Toilet Culture Citizens’ Coalition and the Korea Toilet Association (Representative Pyo Hye-ryeong) held a meeting on illegal filming in restrooms at 11:00 AM on May 28. Kang Bok-sun (Diovill Building Management Team Manager), Kim Joo-ae (Citizen Monitor), Lee Won-eop (Director of Korea Spy Zone Co., Ltd.), Ahn Seong-gyo (Writer), Hwang Seon-ok (Director of Consumer Citizens’ Group), and Pyo Hye-ryeong (Representative of the Toilet Culture Association) attended the meeting to eradicate illegal filming in restrooms.”

In the materials, the Toilet Culture Citizens’ Coalition stated, “Through cases of illegal filming in restrooms, we realized the seriousness of the situation and discussed in depth measures to eradicate it. Here are some examples of small cameras installed by drilling a small hole in the bathroom, cameras installed in tumblers and left in the bathroom, and cameras installed on the top and bottom of toilet lids for illegal filming (Lee Won-eop, Director of Spy Zones). In order to eradicate illegal filming in bathrooms, a change in citizens’ awareness is necessary above all else. To this end, we must be proactive in public relations, and promotional stickers attached to bathrooms can also serve as a warning (Hwang Seon-ok, Senior Advisor, Consumers’ Citizens’ Group).” “However, in addition, we need to inform people about punishment cases and promote best practices in eradication (Kim Ju-ae, Citizen Monitor). Strong legal reinforcement is important, but the education of facility managers who directly report cases must also be strengthened. A reporting manual is needed so that those who report do not suffer disadvantages (Writer Ahn Seong-gyo). Considering that the age of criminals is gradually decreasing, it was emphasized that “a project to improve awareness through education should be carried out immediately.” Pyo Hye-ryeong (Citizens’ Coalition for Toilet Culture, Toilet Culture Association) representative said, “Illegal filming is a crime, so in order to prevent crimes before they occur, active preventive projects by the government and police responsible for the safety of citizens are continuously needed.” She added, “The Toilet Culture Association is continuously carrying out the ‘No Illegal Filming’ campaign with the Seodaemun Police Station, and on June 5, we plan to carry out an illegal filming eradication campaign with the Yangcheon Police Station.”
