This workshop brought together workers from women's rights promotion facilities and institutions across the province, as well as municipal and county officials. The event featured a variety of programs designed to enhance professional expertise and promote psychological recovery, including: ▲ an awards ceremony for contributors to the promotion of women's rights, ▲ a policy forum to strengthen support for victims of violence against women, and ▲ a special healing lecture on mindfulness.

In particular, during the policy forum led by Jeon Seong-hwi, head of the Gangwon Province Council of Women's Rights Promotion Counseling Facilities, in-depth discussions were held on the theme of 'Strengthening Support for Victims of Violence Against Women.' The forum addressed the increasingly complex and evolving nature of crimes such as digital sexual offenses and stalking, as well as the growing number of victims. Experts working on the front lines of women's violence sought effective support measures to help victims safely return to daily life and emphasized the importance of policy collaboration.

In addition, to help workers relieve the high levels of work-related stress and prevent burnout associated with supporting victims of violence, a special healing lecture on mindfulness was provided to support psychological recovery. This program, which utilized meditation and yoga, was evaluated as helping to reduce participants' fatigue and contribute to their rejuvenation.

Jung Youngmi, Director of the Welfare and Health Bureau of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, stated, "The efforts of workers who help victims recover their daily lives through professional intervention and dedicated support during their most difficult times are the core pillar of Gangwon Province's social safety net. We will prioritize the voices from the field in our policies and further strengthen efforts to eradicate crimes of violence against women and to build a comprehensive support system for victims."
