President Moon said, "The week-long event is held under the slogan 'Our attention protects a daily life free from violence against women.' I hope it will be a time to think about a life of respect and being respected."

President Moon explained, "The government has created a safe fence and an emotional buffer zone through laws and systems. We have enacted the Framework Act on the Prevention of Violence Against Women, the Stalking Punishment Act, and the Anti-Human Trafficking Act, and have also established the Basic Plan for Policies to Prevent Violence Against Women and a response system for new types of sex crimes."

President Moon said, "However, it is heartbreaking that there are still women who fall victim to violence. We will continue to improve the system. We will strengthen tailored responses for specific groups such as children and adolescents, single-person households, and women with disabilities, and do our best to eradicate violence against women in education, culture, arts, sports, and both private and public sectors."

President Moon said, "There may be no perfect system, but we must constantly reflect and learn from each incident and keep moving forward."
