This program is designed to help promote a culture of gender equality within families. Following the first and second sessions, the third session was also met with enthusiastic participation from families.

In the first part of the program, Woosoon Jeong, head of the Saebom Institute for Gender Education, led a lecture and hands-on activities under the theme "A Home Where Gender Equality Grows." The session aimed to naturally teach families how to understand and respect each other's differences, practice gender-equal communication in daily life, and share responsibilities in a gender-equal manner.

During the second part, a family-friendly experiential activity, Geumsook Jin, head of Raon Workshop, guided participants in making natural hand lotion. The participating families created hand lotion tailored to their preferences, experiencing a sense of accomplishment and positive interaction together.

Mayor Donggeun Kim, who attended the event, stated, "Small changes in the home can lead to the spread of a gender-equal culture in the local community," and added, "We will continue to expand educational programs where caregivers and children can grow together."

As the first city in northern Gyeonggi Province to be designated as a women-friendly city for three consecutive terms, Uijeongbu City plans to continue promoting a variety of family-friendly programs centered around the community hub, Munyesup Community Center.
