Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, promised to achieve his pledge early by strengthening the functions of the Women and Family Bureau, despite the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's plan to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

On the 8th, marking 'International Women's Day,' Governor Kim posted on his social media (SNS), stating, "International Women's Day is a historic day symbolizing 115 years of struggle to secure women's rights," and added, "Today, I join the 2023 International Women's Day campaign 'Embrace Equity' (#EmbraceEquity)."

He continued, "Recently, the government said it would abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, claiming that 'women's inequality is a thing of the past,'" and emphasized, "Gyeonggi Province will take a different approach by strengthening the functions of the Women and Family Bureau, increasing employment support funds for women returning to work, and expanding the proportion of female managers in the public sector to achieve these pledges early."

He also said, "(Today) I had a chat meeting with female employees at the provincial office. Through our conversation, I once again realized that not only equality of opportunity but also equality of outcome is important," and added, "'I will embrace equity.' I will stand in solidarity with women and take action for a better world."
