Striving to Create a Child-Friendly City Gwanak Where All Children Are Safe and Happy

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Park Jun-hee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, participated in the ‘Welfare Blind Spot Discovery SOS (Save Our Seoul) Challenge’ on the 10th.

Started at the Seoul Metropolitan Council, this challenge is a campaign aimed at preventing various forms of violence against socially vulnerable groups, including children, and gradually resolving welfare blind spots by encouraging people to ‘look after, find, inform, and protect’ socially vulnerable individuals who are easily marginalized in their surroundings.

Park Jun-hee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, stated, “We are actively developing and promoting various policies to create a child-friendly city in Gwanak where all children are safe and happy,” adding, “We will continue to ensure that these policies have a practical effect on preventing child abuse.”

Having been nominated by Hong Seon-gyo, Head of the Good Neighbors Seo-in Region Headquarters, Mayor Park joined the challenge and nominated Gil Yong-hwan, Chairman of the Gwanak District Council, and Lee Geon-hwa, Chief of the Gwanak Police Station, as the next participants.

The district was certified as a child-friendly city by UNICEF in March last year through comprehensive efforts to promote children's rights.

Additionally, the district has established a Child Care Team, assigned dedicated officials for child abuse cases, and is conducting activities such as a Child Rights Monitoring Group, implementing various projects to strengthen children's rights beyond just child protection.
