Hwang Myung-gang, a member of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly (People Power Party, proportional representation), announced on the 11th that he has proposed the "Ordinance on Fostering Women Leaders in Gyeongsangbuk-do" to support the discovery and activities of women leaders so that women in Gyeongbuk can demonstrate their abilities and qualities and lead progressive lives.


This ordinance includes the establishment of an implementation plan for fostering women leaders and education programs such as "Women Leader Competency Development Education" and "Character Education" for fostering women leaders, and is expected to provide an institutional foundation to increase participation rates and nurture women leaders in various fields such as politics, economy, and society.

Assemblyman Hwang of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly said, "According to the 2022 Regional Gender Equality Report by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, Gyeongbuk ranks low in gender equality levels and rankings by policy area (16th out of 17 cities and provinces). Through the enactment of this ordinance, I hope to improve Gyeongbuk's low gender equality index, discover and foster local women leaders, and establish a foundation where they can demonstrate their abilities for the development of the local community."



This ordinance has passed the review of the Administrative, Health, and Welfare Committee of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Assembly and is scheduled to be finally approved at the plenary session of the 341st extraordinary meeting of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Assembly on the 12th.
