Gwangju Dong-gu, Double Celebration for Women-Friendly Policies

Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City recently announced the double celebration news of winning the Minister of Health and Welfare Award at the 1st Gender Equality Policy Awards and being selected as the 'Best' autonomous district in the '2023 Autonomous District Gender Equality Policy Evaluation' conducted by Gwangju Metropolitan City.

The selection of the best autonomous district was decided by evaluating the gender equality policy performance of the five autonomous districts in Gwangju this year.

The main evaluation indicators included a total of 13 items across four areas: ▲ spreading a culture of gender equality and strengthening policy foundations ▲ creating a gender-equal job environment ▲ establishing a care safety net for all ▲ supporting female victims of violence and guaranteeing gender-sensitive health rights. Among the five autonomous districts, Dong-gu received the highest 'Best' rating.

In this achievement, Dong-gu was highly praised for contributing to the spread of gender equality culture through ▲ operating the Women's Hope Creation Center, a hub space for women's empowerment ▲ fostering the Dong-gu Manse (The World Made by Women of Dong-gu) gender-equal village ▲ and the village women's archiving project.

Additionally, efforts to create a gender-equal job environment and prevent violence against women, such as discovering community-based female entrepreneurship cases through the Dong-gu Manse Flea Market and the Smart Safety Door Keeper project for single women households vulnerable to safety, were key factors in Dong-gu being selected as the 'Best' autonomous district.
