I CAN ORDER SOMETHING ONLINE

WITH SOME PEACE OF MIND NOW

 

Although S lives alone,

she has a few pairs of men’s shoes

near the front door.

 

She even keeps a few pieces of

her father’s clothes or

younger brother’s cologne in her house.

 

The reason why

S seems so vigilant

about her safety is

because of the stories

she has heard from her friends

and the news coverage

of various crimes involving

women living alone.

 

Whenever she hears or reads

the fact that women living alone are

more prone to fall victim to a crime,

or stories of how

other people find out

where strangers live,

she feels a shiver running down

her back.

 

For S, her biggest concern is

ordering something on the internet

for delivery.

 

Since no one is at home

to receive deliveries for most of the day,

parcels stay unattended

in front of her door for a long time.

 

This is a concern for S

as she fears someone might use

her personal information specified

in the delivery tag

and use it in a crime.

 

S was exploring various options,

when one day,

she heard the news of Yeonsu-gu

installing safety delivery lockers

across the city.

 

Ever since,

S has been ordering things online,

knowing that she can receive them

safely through the safety delivery lockers

without exposing her address.
