All that glass attracts a different kind of browser
Modern buildings make women vulnerable to voyeurs, says DAB as it names the black spots
Women shopping in the city's modern malls with their large glass panels and high-rise escalators should be aware that these places attract voyeurs.
They are vulnerable from above and below as voyeuristic men can sneak peeks through the glass panels installed beside escalators and railings, warned Elizabeth Quat, chairwoman of the Women's Affairs Committee of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong.
The committee has identified 21 of these places which it called black spots for peeping toms. Among them are nine shopping malls, five MTR stations and two public libraries.
Popular malls like Cityplaza in Taikoo Shing, Hysan Place in Causeway Bay and Harbour City and Silvercord in Tsim Sha Shui are on the list. The other places are East Point City, Metro City Plaza II and Pop Corn in Tseung Kwan O, Metroplaza in Kwai Fong and Tai Po Centre.
The two public libraries are the Central Library in Causeway Bay and Ping Shan Tin Shui Wai Public Library.
The MTR stations are Tiu Keng Leng, Tin Shui Wai, Long Ping, Kam Sheung Road and Hung Hom.
