Changwon Mayor Heo Seong-mu: "We Will Lead the Creation of a Discrimination-Free, Equal, Women-Friendly City"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jucheol In] Changwon City in Gyeongnam is promoting various policies and projects to create a women-friendly city.

On the 8th, Changwon City set five major goals to establish a women-friendly city where everyone can live without discrimination in celebration of International Women's Day.

The five major goals are establishing a foundation for promoting gender equality, expanding women's economic and social participation, enhancing community safety, creating a caregiving environment, and strengthening women's capacity for community activities.

The city plans to realize the value of gender equality throughout its administration and create a women-friendly city where all citizens can live equally without discrimination through the gender sensitivity of its public officials.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu issued a separate message on International Women's Day, pointing out that "although the world has changed remarkably, thoughtless actions that 'deny all discrimination and hurt the belief in supporting gender equality' are still occurring in some quarters."

He added, "We will take the lead in raising gender sensitivity throughout the administration and practicing gender equality to create a truly meaningful women-friendly city."

He concluded his message by saying, "I extend my congratulations and respect to all women on this land."

International Women's Day commemorates the spirit of the female workers at a New York textile factory who took to the streets on March 8, 1908, demanding survival rights (bread), human rights, and suffrage (roses). In South Korea, it was officially designated as a legal commemorative day in 2018.
