Mokpo Police Station, Crime Victimization of Migrant Women... 'Establishment of Comprehensive Support System'

Comprehensive and Systematic Support for Crime Victim Recovery

[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] The Mokpo Police Station in Jeonnam has launched a systematic support initiative to prevent exposure and recurrence of harm to socially vulnerable groups.

On the 15th, the Mokpo Police Station formed a Crime Victim Migrant Women Protection and Support Council to protect migrant women, who are doubly vulnerable as foreign women, and established a comprehensive support system for domestic violence, sexual violence, and other issues.

In particular, the police identified cases of domestic violence and sexual violence both inside and outside the police force, formulated support measures through meetings of the "Crime Victim Migrant Women Protection and Support Council," and actively recruited volunteers including members of the Foreign Affairs Advisory Council.

Local businesses also rolled up their sleeves to build this support system. In cooperation with Mokpo Credit Union and Mokpo Labor Hospital, they supported repairs of aging housing and provided furniture such as beds and desks. Mokpo CLB Bakery and Mokpo Hadang Lions Club led efforts to supply daily necessities and connect migrant women with employment opportunities.

A representative from the Mokpo City Family Center, which received support, expressed sincere gratitude to the Mokpo police officials for assisting women who are in welfare blind spots amid their busy daily lives.

A Mokpo Police Station official stated, "We will continue to do our best to provide customized support for multicultural families facing domestic violence and economic difficulties through ongoing communication with local organizations."
