They are holding the plaque ceremony for Jinju City's designation as a women-friendly city.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 25th, Jinju City held a plaque ceremony for its new designation as a Women-Friendly City at the main entrance of the city hall, organized by the Jinju Women-Friendly City Citizen Participation Group, marking a new start for the city's leap and development as a women-friendly city where all citizens can be happy.

The city was newly designated as a Women-Friendly City in December last year and held a signing ceremony for the Women-Friendly City creation agreement with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family on the 29th of last month, followed by the plaque unveiling ceremony on this day.

Under the slogan "Jinju, Creating Together and Growing Together," the city has established a mid- to long-term plan with five major goals: building a foundation for gender equality, expanding women's economic and social participation, enhancing community safety, creating a family-friendly environment, and strengthening women's capacity for community activities. The plan aims to ensure balanced participation of men and women in local policies and development processes over five years until 2025, actively promoting various policies for women's empowerment, care, and safety.

In particular, as a representative specialized project, the city plans to continue implementing women-friendly policies that allow citizens to experience equality and happiness in daily life through initiatives such as mandatory gender awareness education for citizens called "Jinju Gender Equality 50 Minutes," establishing a regional gender governance system, operating the women-friendly city hub communication space "Seokryu Club" for women's capacity-building programs, and the "Proud Jinju Women" project that discovers and reexamines historical women of Jinju.

Jinju Mayor Cho Gyu-il stated, "We will do our best to reflect the interests and demands of various social groups in city administration and spread a culture of gender equality to create a safe and happy Jinju for all citizens."
