The 'Gender Impact Assessment,' hosted by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Women's and Family Foundation, is a system designed to analyze the impact of various policies by gender, improve factors contributing to gender discrimination, and create a gender-equal policy environment.

This year, 10 organizations selected through the first round of document screening presented their best practices at the competition. The city received an Encouragement Award based on evaluations by a panel of professional judges and an audience evaluation group. With this award, the city has placed in the competition for seven consecutive years.

At the competition, the city's 'Youth Participation Promotion' initiative, led by the Youth Policy Division, received high praise. Through this initiative, the city achieved improvements such as ensuring gender-balanced participation when appointing members to the Youth Policy Coordination Committee, conducting preliminary gender impact assessments on promotional materials, providing gender sensitivity education through the Youth Alter Ego Challenge Project, and considering gender ratio when forming festival planning task forces.

A city official stated, "Winning for seven consecutive years demonstrates the excellence of the gender equality policies that the city has consistently pursued," adding, "We will continue to systematically incorporate a gender-sensitive perspective into municipal administration to create a discrimination-free city."
