[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that the "Visiting Resident Empathy Human Rights Education," prepared to cultivate human rights sensitivity among local residents and spread a culture of human rights respect, is receiving positive responses.

This year, Dong-gu conducted customized human rights education tailored to each target group, delivered directly by human rights experts, for 16 small organizations and about 260 people, including child and disabled social welfare facilities that requested human rights education.

Additionally, human rights education was provided to the community leaders active in Dongmyeong-dong, followed by Seonam-dong and Sansu 1-dong.

These leaders play a crucial role as helpers for vulnerable groups in human rights by identifying at-risk households and resolving welfare blind spots in each district, and next year, human rights education will be conducted for community leaders in the remaining 10 districts.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, stated, "To protect the human rights of each resident and create a Dong-gu without human rights blind spots, it is important to continuously improve residents' human rights sensitivity through ongoing education," adding, "We will continue to promote various policies befitting the status of Gwangju as a city of democracy, peace, and human rights to build a community where residents harmonize."
