(UTV|COLOMBO) – The South Korean capital, Seoul, has pledged to carry out daily checks in all public toilets for hidden cameras.
Secret cameras in toilets and changing rooms are a serious problem in South Korea – with more than 6,000 cases of “Spy cam porn” reported last year.
The videos are often uploaded online without the knowledge of the victims.
Earlier this year, tens of thousands of women protested against hidden cameras, carrying signs with messages like “My life is not your porn”.
Activists say women live in constant fear of being photographed or filmed without their knowledge.
About 80 per cent of the victims of spy camera porn are women.
