[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 9th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon will receive the ‘Outstanding Local Government Head Award’ from the Korean Council of Women’s Organizations at the 56th National Women's Conference held at the COEX Auditorium.

The ‘Outstanding Local Government Head Award’ is given to local governments that have contributed to the realization of gender equality. Seoul is receiving this award for the second time, following 2009.

Seoul is implementing various policies to create a gender-equal Seoul and a city where everyone is happy. In particular, since Mayor Oh’s inauguration, the goal of ‘Zero Sexual Violence Seoul’ has been set, and efforts are being made to create a safe and secure organizational environment by establishing an independent dedicated organization separate from the mayor’s office and introducing a one-strike-out system.

Additionally, Seoul supports women’s employment by operating the ‘Seoul Women Up Internship Program,’ a project to revive dormant licenses by providing internship opportunities in public institutions and linking them to employment in private companies. It also fosters a community by uniting national/public, private, and home daycare centers into one shared community called the ‘Seoul-type Shared Daycare Center,’ and supports work-life balance for women by introducing night daycare centers.
