Starting in May, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will support violence prevention education and training on how to respond to violence for household visit service providers such as gas meter readers, elderly care, and disability care.

Along with this, the Ministry plans to identify educational targets in blind spots of prevention education, such as foreign workers, and support them by dispatching professional instructors or providing guidance on educational programs.

Through the Visiting Violence Prevention Education project, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has provided a total of over 40,000 sessions of education to approximately 1.52 million people over the past 10 years.

Institutions or organizations wishing to receive educational support can apply through the integrated prevention education management site (shp.mogef.go.kr) or the representative phone number (☎1661-6005).

At 18 education support institutions nationwide, specialized education tailored to each target group is available free of charge, conducted by violence prevention education instructors.
