According to the city on the 22nd, this campaign was promoted to improve awareness of child abuse, publicize the reporting hotline, and encourage community interest in protecting abused children, as well as to foster a non-violent and positive parenting culture.

The campaign focused on creating a culture that respects children as independent individuals and promotes positive parenting by publicizing the theme of positive parenting that makes both parents and children happy to local residents.

A citizen who experienced the campaign said, "I have heard about child abuse before, but this was the first time I had the opportunity to directly receive information and learn ways to prevent it," adding, "I hope people’s awareness of child abuse improves through this campaign."

A city official stated, "We expect this campaign to raise awareness of child abuse issues and spread a positive parenting culture within the community," and added, "We will continue to make efforts to create an environment where children can grow up safely and healthily."

It was reported that the number of child abuse reports received in the jurisdiction decreased by about 20% compared to previous years last year, indicating that continuous child abuse prevention publicity is proving effective, and various child abuse prevention activities are being planned.

The city is currently promoting the Namwon City Parent School project to raise awareness of child abuse and plans to conduct emotional communication methods and child abuse prevention education with couple mentor Jeong Eun-pyo on the 30th.

Recruitment is ongoing, and for detailed inquiries or applications, contact the Women and Family Division.
