The "Baro Hope Team" is a specialized initiative led by Gyeonggi Province and its cities and counties, designed to overcome the limitations of individual responses by local governments, police, and support agencies when 112 emergency calls are made for incidents such as domestic or sexual violence. Through mutual cooperation, the initiative aims to help victims restore their daily social functioning.

Under the terms of this agreement, the two organizations will share information on 112-reported incidents and establish a systematic framework to protect and support victims and their families. This includes providing tailored integrated support (medical, legal, and psychological) from the early stages of an incident and implementing follow-up measures to prevent recurrence.

The Gwangju City Baro Hope Team will be located on the 9th floor of the Gwangju City Welfare Administration Town, staffed by professional counselors and integrated case managers. The Gwangju Police Station will assign abuse prevention officers on a non-resident basis to cooperate in supporting victims of violence. The official opening is scheduled for April 13, and all related inquiries should be directed to the Baro Hope Team in Gwangju City.
