Eunpyeong-gu 'Child Rights Monitoring Team' Recruitment

Monitoring of Child Rights Violations and Survey on Children Aged 6-12 Living in the Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) is recruiting the '2021 Eunpyeong-gu Children's Rights Monitoring Group' from May 26 to June 25 for children aged 6 to 12 residing in the area.

The '2021 Eunpyeong-gu Children's Rights Monitoring Group,' organized and operated to directly hear the voices of children, the main characters of the child-friendly city Eunpyeong, and to realize child-centered child policies, guarantees children's right to participate and consists of children who will act as guardians of children's rights, "Eunpyeong Listening to Children's Voices."

The Eunpyeong-gu Children's Rights Monitoring Group selected through this open recruitment will be organized and operated in small groups of five, each choosing one of the five major areas of child policy (▲Play and Leisure ▲Participation and Civic Awareness ▲Safety and Protection ▲Health and Social Services ▲Educational Environment).

Each group will conduct a child status survey and monitor cases of rights violations in the relevant field, and propose improvement measures through group discussions from the children's perspective.

The operation of the Eunpyeong-gu Children's Rights Monitoring Group is carried out through public-private cooperation with 'Good Neighbors.' Good Neighbors, a specialized organization, will provide children's rights education and activity mentoring for the monitoring group, while Eunpyeong-gu will handle recruitment, appointment, and the activity report meeting, enhancing professionalism in supporting participating children's activities and expecting substantial and active engagement.

All activities of the Children's Rights Monitoring Group will be conducted online to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Starting with an online launch ceremony on July 1, children's rights education, project briefings, and appointment ceremonies will be held online, followed by regular online meetings where university student mentors will assist group task activities.

The online activity report meeting showcasing each group's results will include awards for outstanding members and excellent groups, sharing videos of the activities, and providing a time to encourage and strengthen unity as guardians of children's rights in Eunpyeong-gu.

An official from Eunpyeong-gu stated, "If children monitor by themselves to protect and respect their rights in daily life and develop their capabilities, practical child policy proposals reflecting children's opinions can emerge. This means that children, who were only regarded as objects of rights, become subjects of rights themselves."
