Shops serve as children’s emergency shelters
    2019-06-14  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

WHEN encountering dangers, children in the Huangbeiling Community, Luohu District, can turn to any shop that has a “Children’s Safe House” sticker posted on its entrance or front window for help as the shops have volunteered to serve as emergency shelters for children.

Under a government foundation in Luohu District, Huangbeiling Community solicited stores in the community to provide shelter and help for children. A total of 50 stores answered the call.

The idea was borrowed from a public security campaign in Japan known as “Children’s 110 House” that aims to curb crimes targeting children.

An organization called 807 Community Innovation Lab joined hands with the community’s Party service center to hand out questionnaires from residents living in Huangbeiling in February in an attempt to collect their opinions on how to provide a safe environment for children living in the community.

“Children do not have many safe places to play inside the urban village in the community, because the streets there are narrow and there are too many vehicles,” said a parent whose son has to stay home most of the time due to safety reasons.

The answers collected found that it was unsafe for children to play inside the urban village. So the lab and the Party service center showed the parents an array of public security projects in other countries and the parents voted for the Japanese project that tells shops, train stations and private houses to provide immediate help to children in need.

The organizers of the campaign provided the volunteering shops with a training on methods of helping children.

The organizers said they would encourage more stores to join the “Children’s Safe Houses” campaign to provide a safer environment for children.
