Since last year, the city has formed a TF team to close the prostitution district and has been making every effort to promote closure by exploring reorganization plans through various methods. In particular, it plans to accelerate the closure by strengthening activities to eradicate illegal prostitution, promote the independence of women victims of prostitution, improve awareness of human rights, and protect youth within youth-restricted areas.
The city plans to conduct patrol activities three times a week around the prostitution district and hold a joint public-private campaign once a month regularly. Through various methods such as forums on protecting the human rights of women involved in prostitution, busking campaigns to eradicate prostitution, and violence prevention education, it aims to build a social consensus.
