"Meal Support for 17,000 Children at Risk of Food Insecurity" ... Daegu City Council Member Kwon Ki-hoon Proposes Ordinance
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-sun] Daegu City Council member Kwon Ki-hoon (People Power Party, Dong-gu) on the 21st took the lead in proposing the "Daegu City Child Meal Support Ordinance," which can provide systematic support to low-income children at risk of going hungry.
Council member Kwon of Daegu City Council explained the reason for drafting the ordinance, saying, "According to Article 6 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the state must ensure to the maximum extent possible the protection of every child's life and healthy growth," and "As of 2022, the target for child meal support in Daegu City is about 17,000 children from low-income families at risk of food insecurity. Through systematic meal support for these children, we aim to contribute to improving their health and physical strength."
This ordinance includes contents such as establishing a child meal plan and conducting surveys for child meal support, determining the target and methods of support, establishing a Child Meal Committee, building and operating an online platform for child meals, providing guidance and promotion for child meals, and managing child meal support.
Council member Kwon said, "Through the enactment of this ordinance, a systematic system related to child meals from the child's perspective will be established, and I hope that our children, who are the future of Daegu and ultimately the future of the Republic of Korea, can grow up healthy and happy."
