[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is promoting the spread of a gender-equal culture through various events in celebration of Gender Equality Week 2021 (September 1?7).


Under the slogan "Towards a Better World, Towards Gender Equality," awards were given to individuals who contributed to gender equality, and a special lecture by a notable figure was held to deliver clear and easy-to-understand messages about gender equality to people of all ages and genders.


On September 1, Professor Lee Ho-seon from Soongsil Cyber University, invited to Seongbuk TV’s YouTube broadcast, gave a lecture titled "Skills for Effective Communication Beyond Era, Generation, and Gender." Emphasizing habits such as ‘remembering and commemorating’ and ‘respecting and questioning’ to improve communication, the lecture clearly and simply conveyed the concept of gender equality, receiving positive responses from many viewers.


A resident who attended the lecture via Seongbuk TV’s YouTube broadcast due to social distancing, Mr. Song** (Gireum New Town, 38), shared his thoughts: “I was uncertain about how to teach my children regarding the frequently discussed gender conflicts recently, but learning about respect and communication as a direction was relieving.”


On the same afternoon, an award ceremony was held to present the Mayor’s Commendation to residents who contributed to realizing gender equality. Five individuals and organizations received awards.


Among the awardees, Jeong Se-ho, director of the Seongbuk-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center, stated, “Through this award, our center will further dedicate itself to supporting work-family balance, family care projects, and various gender-equal family relationship support services, contributing to the creation of a gender-equal culture in Seongbuk-gu.”



Mayor Lee Seung-ro emphasized, “We will continue to share awareness of gender equality at every site and strive to spread a culture of gender equality. Let us not limit gender equality to a specific week but practice it every day of the year, 365 days, to pass on a better and more gender-equal Seongbuk to future generations.”
