[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will operate a one-month intensive period from the 18th to discover and improve cases of rights violations against out-of-school youth, together with the Kumdream Youth Group.

The Kumdream Youth Group is a participatory organization consisting of 259 out-of-school youth recommended by out-of-school youth support centers nationwide, and has been operating since 2015. It collects opinions from out-of-school youth to propose policies and identifies various cases of rights violations against out-of-school youth both online and offline to encourage improvements.

The Kumdream Youth Group has improved cases where participation in contests or events was limited to students or where youth IDs were not accepted for discounts, ensuring that out-of-school youth do not suffer rights violations. Last year, they discovered 192 cases and improved 137 of them.

They requested that contest participation qualifications be specified as students and youth of the same age or by birth year, leading to revisions of eligibility requirements, and added youth IDs as proof for various student-targeted discount documents.

Jeong Kyung-hoon, the 2022 leader of the Kumdream Youth Group, said, "I hope many people will support the Kumdream Youth Group, which will carry out various activities such as discovering rights violation cases and raising awareness on behalf of out-of-school youth."
