In particular, drawings by children from the Seogu Office Daycare Center, created under the theme "Every Day is Children's Day for Us," allow visitors to vividly experience children's dreams and rights from their perspective.

Throughout the exhibition hall, key articles from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and famous quotes about children's rights are displayed, creating a space that promotes a social atmosphere of respect and protection for children.

Kang Misuk, Head of the Child Welfare Division, said, "This exhibition was prepared to share Seogu's values as a child-friendly city with residents and to help establish a culture that respects children's rights and happiness in the local community. I hope that visiting the exhibition will be an opportunity for everyone to reflect on the importance of children's rights together."

Meanwhile, since obtaining the upper-level UNICEF Child Friendly City certification in June 2022, Seogu has been leading efforts to realize children's rights through various initiatives such as establishing the All KIDS ZONE, operating the Youth District Participation Group, and hosting the Children's Policy Proposal Contest. This year, as Seogu prepares for recertification at the upper level, the district plans to further strengthen policies to promote and protect children's rights.
