The lecture on sexual violence and domestic violence prevention was delivered by Professor Park Sun-hyang, a professor at the Defense University PKO Center and a professional counseling committee member of the National Human Rights Commission. Professor Park helped improve gender sensitivity by sharing abundant examples of discrimination and imbalance in daily life, as well as sexual violence incidents and cases within organizations that have become social issues, under the theme “Are you being respected?”

Mr. Ha** (51), who participated in the education, said, “It was an opportunity to reflect on human rights and equality, which I had not deeply considered before, and to think about my daily life. I also learned how to respect colleagues and family.”

Seongbuk-gu Mayor Lee Seung-ro stated, “I hope everyone remembers that individual efforts and practice are the foundation of a healthy organizational culture,” and added, “We plan to provide various opportunities, including education, to promote an equal and mutually respectful organizational culture.”
