Gwangju City Announces Human Rights Organization Collaboration Project Contest from 20th to 22nd

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 7th that it is recruiting organizations and groups to carry out the public interest project ‘Human Rights Organization Cooperation Project’ for the promotion of citizens' human rights.

Since 2012, Gwangju has been supporting the Human Rights Organization Cooperation Project to spread awareness of the importance of human rights and raise citizens' human rights consciousness based on public-private governance in vulnerable human rights areas that administrative efforts cannot reach.

The support projects are divided into planned public offerings and general public offerings.

The planned public offering category includes ▲ citizen human rights promotion projects in fields such as the elderly, women, youth, migrants, environment, and social economy proposed at the 2020 World Human Rights Cities Forum ▲ capacity building for human rights activists ▲ development of human rights education programs (textbooks) and human rights promotional content ▲ projects related to guaranteeing and promoting the human rights of vulnerable groups.

The general public offering category solicits public interest projects necessary for protecting and promoting citizens' human rights, such as human rights education and spreading a culture of respect for human rights.

Applications are open to non-profit private organizations or non-profit corporations located in Gwangju as of the announcement date (8th) that have at least one year of human rights activity experience and possess the basic human and material capabilities to carry out the project.

Applications can be submitted in person, by mail (to the City Democracy and Human Rights Division), or by email from the 20th to the 22nd. The suitability of the project, ripple effects, and the executing organization's capability will be evaluated through internal review and subsidy review committee deliberation, and the final supported projects will be selected next month.

Kim Yong-man, head of the City Democracy and Human Rights Division, said, “We hope that organizations with expertise and passion for human rights promotion activities will actively participate and join us in creating a just human rights community in Gwangju through public-private cooperation.”
