Gyeonggi Family and Women’s Research Institute Renamed to 'Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation' After 15 Years

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Family and Women Research Institute is newly launching as the Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 8th that, following the recent revision of the "Ordinance on the Establishment and Operation Support of the Gyeonggi Family and Women Research Institute" and the amendment of the "Articles of Incorporation of the Gyeonggi Family and Women Research Institute," the institute will change its name to the Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation and start anew.

Since its launch in 2005 as the Gyeonggi Family and Women Research Institute, the Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation has conducted policy research in various fields such as gender equality, women's issues, women's employment, family, children and youth, childcare, and multiculturalism to improve the quality of life for residents over the past 15 years. It has also promoted various education programs and projects to support gender-sensitive policy implementation by Gyeonggi Province and city/county officials and to spread a culture of gender equality in local communities.

In particular, the foundation launched a task force to respond to digital sex crimes in collaboration with the province and conducted joint parenting campaigns such as "Latte Papa" and "Appa High" to promote gender-equal parenting.

With this name change, the foundation declared its vision as a "Women and Family Policy Platform Opening the Future Together with Residents" and will discover comprehensive women and family policies across the province through policy research and projects.

Jung Jeong-ok, CEO of the Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation, emphasized, "In response to the rapidly increasing demand for policies in the women and family sectors, we will fulfill our role as a public institution through appropriate policy research and various projects."
