[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) has completely revised its guidelines for preventing sexual harassment and sexual violence, establishing institutional measures to prevent secondary damage, including disciplinary actions and recurrence prevention measures for secondary damage acts.

According to the county on the 5th, based on the "Basic Act on the Prevention of Violence Against Women," the existing guidelines for preventing sexual harassment and sexual violence were supplemented with content to prevent secondary damage from violence against women, creating integrated guidelines.

The guidelines specify the concepts of violence against women and secondary damage, as well as the responsibilities of superiors, and particularly present specific types of acts that cause secondary damage.

Additionally, institutional measures to prevent secondary damage were established, including disciplinary actions and recurrence prevention measures for acts causing secondary damage.

Governor Kim San stated, "There is increasing social interest and demand for prompt and transparent procedures in handling recent sexual misconduct cases and for preventing victimization," adding, "We will not only prepare guidelines for preventing sexual harassment, sexual violence, and secondary damage but also continuously monitor and supplement their implementation to foster a healthy public service culture."

Meanwhile, Muan County is doing its best to prevent sexual harassment, sexual violence, and secondary damage by operating grievance counseling desks and a cyber reporting center.
