"Our Children Are Flowers!"... Geumcheon-gu, Child Abuse Prevention Campaign

Geumcheon-gu Campaign on 'Child Abuse Prevention Day (11.19.)'... Geumcheon Police Station and Seoul Southern Child Protection Agency Hold Campaign on Child Abuse Prevention, Awareness Improvement, and Positive Parenting

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that on November 14, in commemoration of Child Abuse Prevention Day (11.19), it conducted a campaign on the themes of child abuse prevention, awareness improvement, and positive parenting together with the Geumcheon Police Station and the Seoul Southern Child Protection Agency, which are institutions responding to child abuse.

Every year, November 19 is designated as 'Child Abuse Prevention Day.' It is a legal commemorative day established to raise residents' awareness of child abuse prevention.

At Geumcheon-gu Office Station Square, leaflets and promotional items were distributed to residents on their way to work, informing them about the four fundamental rights of children: the right to survival, protection, development, and participation, and guiding them on proper parenting methods.

Additionally, at the promotional booth, consultations were held to improve awareness of child abuse. Topics such as 'Positive Parenting, Words that Convey the Heart,' 'Positive Communication Methods,' and 'Efforts to Create a Better Parenting Environment' were explained to residents, followed by a pledge session encouraging their participation.

Geumcheon-gu cooperates with the Geumcheon Police Station and the Seoul Southern Child Protection Agency to respond promptly to child abuse incidents and ensure the safety of children.

They share information about affected children and strive to provide appropriate support and follow-up care. Furthermore, to minimize recurrence, education and counseling are provided to perpetrators of child abuse.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “The best way to prevent child abuse is for us to pay closer attention to our surroundings and detect children in crisis early.” He added, “We will actively cooperate with related institutions and do our best from the occurrence of child abuse to post-case management.”
