Seocho-gu (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) will hold commemorative events throughout the district to establish a culture of gender equality in celebration of Gender Equality Week (September 1?7).

This event was organized by the district under the theme "Towards a Happier Gender Equality Tomorrow" to promote awareness of gender-equal language and establish a culture of gender equality.

First, on September 1, from 12:00 PM to 3:30 PM, the Seocho Women and Family Plaza Jamwon Center will host a grassroots gender equality festival and ceremony under the slogan "Towards a Happier Gender Equality Tomorrow."

The event, involving 15 local organizations, will feature various experience zones such as an Experience Zone, Flea Market Zone, and Event Zone, offering diverse interactive corners related to gender equality.

Notably, the key experiential activities on this day include the "Equality Language Matching Game" and "Decorating the Seocho-gu Butterfly Map." The "Equality Language Matching Game" involves matching pairs of cards with equal and discriminatory language to learn about gender-equal language. Examples include ▲low birthrate → low childbirth ▲stroller → infant carriage ▲sisterhood → mutual partnership ▲sportsmanship → sports spirit. Additionally, the "Decorating the Seocho-gu Butterfly Map" activity invites participants to write gender equality words or pledges on colored paper, fold them into butterfly shapes, and attach them to a panel featuring a map of Seocho-gu.

Alongside these, singer Sean will give a special lecture titled "Now is a Gift" on family culture and life attitudes, followed by a congratulatory performance by the pop jazz band "Tune Around," composed of saxophone, contrabass, and piano.

Moreover, various Gender Equality Week events will take place at Women and Family Plaza centers across different areas. On the 2nd, the Bangbae Center will host a "Gender Equality Family Forest Experience," a "Gender Equality Week Quiz Event," and a "Gender Equality Calligraphy Writing Experience Booth." On the 9th, the Seocho Center will hold the "6th Dad Chef Cooking Festival," with participation from 60 fathers and families.

Additionally, on September 1, the district will hold the "9th Seocho Women’s Award Ceremony" at the district office. This year, five residents who have contributed to women's career development, the spread of gender equality culture, and the creation of a safe Seocho will be honored with plaques and awards.

Jeon Seong-su, Mayor of Seocho-gu, said, "I hope this event will serve as an opportunity to deepen understanding of gender equality culture," adding, "We will strive to make Seocho a happier gender-equal city today and tomorrow through various gender equality policy initiatives."
