[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) has appointed the '3rd Yeongdeungpo Resident Human Rights Guardians' to foster a participatory human rights culture and to guarantee and promote human rights in Yeongdeungpo-gu.

On the 22nd, 29 Resident Human Rights Guardians were appointed through a non-face-to-face ceremony and will serve as local human rights leaders by proposing opinions for the establishment and implementation of the district's human rights policies.

They serve as unpaid honorary positions, but activity expenses are reimbursed if necessary.

During their one-year term, they will be provided with continuous human rights learning opportunities. Based on this, they will identify and improve human rights violations and inconveniences experienced in daily life, conduct monitoring of human rights violations and protection, form a local community human rights network, and propose various human rights-related policies.

They will also engage in self-study club activities to learn about human rights-related books, films, and other content, and to share recent human rights issues.

On World Human Rights Day (December 10), they plan to participate in campaigns to promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to residents and various human rights education promotions such as resident human rights schools.

The 1st and 2nd Resident Human Rights Guardians, appointed and active since 2018, have worked in various fields to raise human rights awareness, including monitoring pedestrian safety in high-traffic accident zones within the district, including four district libraries, exploring human rights sites, and participating in World Human Rights Day campaigns.

The district expects that the 3rd Resident Human Rights Guardians appointed this year will also actively engage in public facility monitoring and human rights policy promotion, making this year one in which the human rights of socially vulnerable groups in the community are further enhanced.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “I hope the activities of the Resident Human Rights Guardians will be a valuable step in establishing a human rights mindset where people respect each other,” and added, “We will continue to strive to prepare and implement policies that protect the human rights of socially vulnerable groups for a district administration where people are respected.”
