[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Foundation of Women and Family announced on the 27th that it received the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Commendation at the ‘7th Korea Crime Prevention Awards’ jointly hosted by the National Police Agency and JoongAng Ilbo.

The ‘Korea Crime Prevention Awards’ is an event that selects and awards public institutions, private companies, and social organizations that have achieved outstanding results in creating safe communities free from crime. This year, the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family was selected as the top institution in the ‘Protection of Socially Vulnerable Groups’ category.

The Seoul Foundation of Women and Family is conducting research and projects aimed at establishing an active support system for the four major types of violence?domestic violence, prostitution, sexual violence, and sexual harassment?as well as digital sex crimes, with the goal of creating a landmark for responding to women and family violence toward a “Zero Women Violence Seoul.”

In March, the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family established the Seoul Digital Sex Crime Safety Support Center in cooperation with the National Police Agency and others. Additionally, within the Seoul Women’s Plaza, institutions related to violence prevention in Seoul such as △With You, the Seoul Workplace Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence Prevention Center △Women’s Emergency Call 1366 Seoul Center △Seoul Reunification Counseling Center have been concentrated to build a cooperative system for prevention and response to women’s violence based on spatial infrastructure.

The Seoul Foundation of Women and Family signed a business agreement with Dongjak Police Station and installed emergency bells in the Seoul Digital Sex Crime Safety Support Center that connect immediately to the 112 comprehensive control room. It plans to strengthen crime prevention support linkages by collaborating with institutions within Dongjak-gu. The foundation is also working to secure citizen safety and build safety management infrastructure by establishing CCTV monitoring without blind spots, emergency bells, safe parking lots, and safe restrooms in public spaces it operates, such as the Seoul Women’s Plaza and Space Sallim.

Going forward, the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family plans to closely link policy development, project implementation, and spatial creation functions to enhance victim support and advance violence prevention and response projects as an institution responding to women and family violence, continuing to accompany socially vulnerable groups.

Jung Yeon-jeong, CEO of the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family, said, “This award for crime prevention is a great achievement made possible through the cooperation of all organizations, institutions, associations, and Dongjak Police Station that collaborated with the foundation.” She added, “We will continue to actively support citizens to live safely from crime by utilizing the foundation’s research, projects, and space operation capabilities.”
