[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 9th, Changwon City in Gyeongnam held an activity report meeting for the '2nd Changwon City Women-Friendly City Citizen Participation Group' at the Citizen Hall.

The citizen participation group, formed in January last year to create a women-friendly city, collaborated with the administration to carry out women's safety projects such as supporting gender equality education for citizens including 4th-grade elementary students and care workers, advising on the creation of Moms Free Zones, monitoring new CCTV installation sites, and inspecting illegal cameras in public restrooms.

They also promoted projects directly planned and implemented by the participation group, such as creating the 1st to 3rd women-friendly safe alleys, demanding policy improvements through monitoring public facilities and spaces, conducting women-friendly city citizen surveys, and public relations.

At the report meeting held that day, about 80 people including four subcommittees of the leader citizen participation group and the Our Neighborhood Keeper Hanbakkwi general citizen participation group attended, discussing evaluations of activities over the past two years and plans for next year's activities.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu said, "Citizen participation is above all important to create a Changwon-style women-friendly city," adding, "I hope we can work together so that the city can be designated as a 3rd phase women-friendly city by 2025."
