Namwon City Academy Association Holds Training Workshop

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] The Namwon City Academy Federation of the Korea Academy Federation Corporation (President Choi Eun-young) announced on the 8th that it conducted mandatory legal training for academy instructors under the theme of sexual harassment prevention education and disability awareness improvement education.

Instructor Lim Young-mi (CEO of Emotional Touch) stated, "There are three types of sexual harassment that we unconsciously commit. Physical sexual harassment involves physical contact, that is, touching a specific part of the other person's body, causing discomfort, etc. Verbal sexual harassment includes obscene jokes or vulgar language, sexual metaphors or evaluations about appearance, intentional dissemination of sexual content information, coercion or persuasion of sexual relations, and obscene phone calls."

She continued, "Visual sexual harassment refers to acts such as posting or showing obscene photos, drawings, graffiti, or pornographic publications; sending obscene letters, photos, or drawings directly or through indirect media (such as computers); deliberately exposing or touching one's specific body parts related to sex," emphasizing, "If you think and act for just 5 seconds, sexual harassment can be prevented."

Additionally, she explained, "Disability collectively refers to psychological, mental, intellectual, cognitive, developmental, or sensory physical functional or structural problems that limit activities or interfere with living. In South Korea, this corresponds to 5.39% of the total population, and acquired disabilities are more common than congenital ones. We must recognize that people with disabilities are different, not wrong, compared to non-disabled people, and live a life without discrimination."
