Candidate Kim Seonghwan: "I will create a work environment favorable for women"

Kim Seong-hwan, an independent candidate for the Gwangju Dong-gu Nam-gu Eul constituency in the general election, stated on the 9th, "There is a need to create an environment where women in the Dongnam-eul area, who find it difficult to maintain stable employment due to childcare burdens, can balance work and childcare."

Kim, the independent candidate, said, "Most of the stories I heard from young mothers while cycling around the Dongnam-eul area were about the difficulty of maintaining stable employment due to childcare burdens," adding, "To address these challenges, I have prepared pledges suitable for creating an environment where work and childcare can coexist."

He continued, "To alleviate the constraints related to childcare time, it is necessary to establish 24-hour daycare centers that provide special features beyond the existing daycare operations," emphasizing, "During my tenure as the mayor of Dong-gu, I also implemented measures such as establishing a comprehensive childcare support center and installing indoor playgrounds for children within the Pureun Village Community Center to ease childcare burdens."

In connection with this, Kim stated, "To revitalize women's employment, I have planned to build a comprehensive support system to prevent career interruptions caused by childcare and to provide appropriate jobs for women who inevitably experience career breaks."

Kim Seong-hwan, the independent candidate, appealed to the citizens of Gwangju and residents of Dongnam-eul, saying, "I will create a Dongnam-eul area that develops by increasing the birth rate through the establishment of a work-childcare coexistence environment that satisfies women. Please choose me, Kim Seong-hwan, as the people's doctor for Dongnam-eul."
