The center provides counseling and support for various migrant women, including marriage immigrants, foreign nationals of Korean descent, and foreign workers, addressing issues such as violence, discrimination, housing, healthcare, labor, and other human rights violations. By integrating functions that were previously dispersed across different institutions, the center aims to fill gaps in support for victims of violence and establish a comprehensive support system for self-reliance and settlement.

Professional staff capable of offering multilingual counseling in Vietnamese, Chinese, Uzbek, Filipino (English), Thai, Spanish, and other languages provide comprehensive services, including counseling for victims of violence, follow-up care, psychological recovery programs, legal advice, and referrals. When necessary, the center also coordinates with related institutions such as shelters.

Migrant women can receive counseling by phone or in person on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Through interpretation and translation services, as well as the Danuri Call Center (available 24/7, 365 days a year), they can access support without language barriers.

Detailed information is available on the Gyeonggi-do Migrant Women Counseling Center website or the Gyeonggi-do website.

Kim Wonkyu, Director of the Immigration Society Bureau of Gyeonggi-do, stated, "The Migrant Women Counseling Center will serve as an important foundation for Gyeonggi-do to realize diversity and inclusion," adding, "We will continue to provide meticulous policy support at the provincial level to ensure a safe society free from discrimination and violence."
