'Women-Friendly City' Gimcheon-si Launches Full-Scale Support Project for Women's Communities

Selected 'Supkkureogi' and 'Gold Class Women's Association' Through Public Contest

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gimcheon City, Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 8th that it will officially start the "Women's Community Support Project," promoted as a specialized project for a women-friendly city.

Among the four organizations that applied for the "Women's Community Support Project" contest in April, two organizations, "Supkkureogi" and "Gold Class Women's Association," which were selected, will begin activities after receiving expert consulting.

Gimcheon City recognized the need to expand support for women's activities such as small groups and organizations during the establishment of a mid- to long-term plan for creating a women-friendly city last year and proceeded with the contest project.

The selected "Supkkureogi" is an environmental conservation and ecological protection volunteer group, and will play a role in activating resident participation in childcare and environmental education. The Gold Class Women's Association in Yulgok-dong is expected to form social relationships among housewives and revitalize the village community through operating experiential programs with children.

Mayor Kim Choong-seop said, "Gimcheon City is discovering and promoting women-friendly city projects that meet residents' needs," adding, "Starting with the Women's Community Support Project, we will continue projects necessary for women's empowerment, care, and safety."

Meanwhile, Gimcheon City, designated as a women-friendly city by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family on December 16 last year, plans to intensively carry out gender equality foundation projects suitable for the region for five years starting this year.
