[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) conducts year-round face-to-face and non-face-to-face violence prevention education to create a safe local culture free from crime and to improve distorted gender awareness.

Residents' groups, parents, social welfare facility workers and users, companies and organizations, small business owners, elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as university students in the area can apply for free.

‘Face-to-face education’ requires 10 to 20 participants and an educational space.

‘Non-face-to-face education’ conducted in real-time online can accommodate 15 to 100 participants.

Professional instructors dispatched by the district provide customized lectures for one hour according to the characteristics and desired content of the participants.

Applicants can choose from topics such as sexual violence prevention, domestic violence prevention, sexual harassment and prostitution prevention, and improvement of gender sensitivity.

The lectures focus on cases related to the seriousness and prevention of dating violence, online violence, digital sex crimes, and reporting obligations regarding sexual and domestic violence.

Additionally, the content covers how to quickly respond in emergency situations by utilizing the Women’s Safety Scout, Seoul City’s Ansim-i app, and Women’s Safety Keeper Houses.

Once social distancing is lifted, a ‘Violence Zero Academy’ for 10 to 16 participants will also be operated. This is a two-hour sexual violence prevention education course combining theory and practice, where participants can also learn self-defense techniques.

The intensive application period is until the 19th of this month, but applications can be made throughout the year.

Those interested should contact the Women and Family Division of Seodaemun-gu Office with the education target, date, and location.
