[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hapcheon-gun Child and Women Safety Area Coalition announced on the 7th that it conducted the '2021 Purple Day and Stalking Crime Prevention Promotion Campaign' at Gaya Market.

This campaign was jointly promoted by related organizations including Hapcheon-gun, Hapcheon Family Happiness Counseling Center, and Hapcheon Police Station, and was carried out mainly around Gaya Market using the Gaya market day.

On this day, participating organizations distributed promotional materials to residents at the market, where many people gather, to promote the early detection and prevention of domestic violence and child abuse, and the eradication of stalking crimes.

In particular, the 'Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes, etc.' to be enforced from the 21st clearly defines stalking behavior that is continuous and repetitive as a crime, specifies punishment regulations for perpetrators, and establishes various protection procedures for victims of stalking crimes.

Song Min-sook, director of the Hapcheon Family Happiness Counseling Center and a member of the Hapcheon-gun Child and Women Safety Area Coalition, stated, “The most necessary thing for children and women to be safe from violence is the attention of those around them, so I ask everyone to look once more at their neighbors with the thought of protecting their own family. We will continue to do our best to create a safe Hapcheon through steady promotional campaigns.”

The Hapcheon-gun Child and Women Safety Area Coalition was formed to establish a cooperative system through solidarity to raise social interest and prevention of domestic violence and sexual violence against children and women in the region, and is promoting sexual violence prevention education and publicity projects, child and women safety environment improvement projects, and child and women safety guardian activities.
