Seongnam City, Nationwide First 'Domestic Violence Survey'

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will be the first local government in the country to conduct a domestic violence survey.

Seongnam City announced that it will hold a 'Kick-off Meeting for the Research Project on Domestic Violence Survey and Related Policy Development' at 3 p.m. on the 26th in the conference room on the 6th floor of City Hall.

The research project will be conducted over six months by the Gyeonggi Family and Women Research Institute, with a project budget of 70 million KRW.

The Gyeonggi Family and Women Research Institute will survey 1,500 Seongnam citizens aged 19 and older on the presence of domestic violence victimization, the timing of the first occurrence, severity of harm, causes, locations, types of perpetrators, coping methods, police reporting status, and the use and effectiveness of support services.

It will also investigate the mental, economic, and physical impacts of domestic violence, secondary damage caused by police investigations and media coverage, and changes in daily life.

Among the survey subjects, 25 individuals including users and staff of domestic violence counseling centers and residents of domestic violence protection facilities will be interviewed in depth to analyze the current status and issues of support systems for domestic violence victims.

Based on the research results, the city will develop and implement domestic violence prevention and eradication policies reflecting local characteristics early next year. The formulation and implementation of domestic violence eradication policies is one of Seongnam City's pledges in its 7th term of elected administration.
