Seodaemun-gu, Sexual Violence and Domestic Violence Prevention Education

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) will conduct violence prevention education from April to November this year to create a safe community free from crime and to improve distorted gender perception culture.

Any group of 15 or more, including various resident meetings and clubs, cultural, arts, and sports organizations, welfare facility members, small business owners, private company employees, elementary, middle, and high school students, and parents can apply.

A professional instructor dispatched by Seodaemun-gu will provide a one-hour education focused on cases about the seriousness of sexual violence, sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, online violence, digital sex crimes, prevention and response methods, and gender equality. The maximum number of participants is 100.

Participants can request the educational content they mainly wish to learn. Sexual violence prevention education will also be provided for kindergarten and daycare children.

In addition to this lecture-style education, a ‘Violence Zero Academy’ for 15 to 20 participants will be operated. This is a two-hour course combining theory and practice on sexual violence prevention education, where participants can also learn self-defense techniques.

Furthermore, the district plans to include information on Safe Keeper Houses, Safe Return Scouts, 112 Report Location Signs, and unmanned safe delivery boxes in this education for participants to utilize.

The intensive application period is until the 20th of this month, and applications can be made anytime during the education period thereafter. Those who wish to apply should specify the target audience, date, and location and contact the Women and Family Division of Seodaemun-gu Office (330-1287).

Last year, the district conducted violence prevention education aimed at spreading a proper gender awareness culture for about 8,300 residents over a total of 117 sessions.
