Gyeonggi Province Recruits Commissioned Contractors for Sports Human Rights Advancement - To Implement Sports Human Rights Education and Promotion

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province is openly recruiting commissioned contractors until the 25th to implement human rights advancement projects in the province's sports sector, including sports human rights education and promotion.

The ‘2021 Gyeonggi Province Sports Human Rights Advancement Project’ is divided into two main categories: sports human rights education and sports human rights promotion. Sports human rights education, targeting athletes and coaches within Gyeonggi Province, will be implemented across 31 cities and counties in the province and will cover violence education including sexual violence, education on misconduct such as embezzlement, breach of trust, match-fixing and entrance exam irregularities, and other education deemed necessary by the province.

Sports human rights promotion involves publicizing Gyeonggi Province sports human rights education guidance, and regulations, policies and events related to Gyeonggi Province sports human rights through the province's website, social media services (SNS), and media outlets in the form of videos, banners (internet homepage advertisements), and promotional materials (leaflets).

The project was commissioned to the Gyeonggi Province Women and Family Foundation from 2019 to 2020, but this year it is being transferred to specialist sports human rights organizations for implementation.

Any corporation or organization specializing in sports human rights or possessing the capacity to implement sports human rights advancement projects may apply.

Prospective participants can download the application form from the Notice and Announcement section of the Gyeonggi Province website (www.gg.go.kr) and submit it directly to the Sports Division of Gyeonggi Province Government Office by 12 p.m. on the 25th.

The selected commissioned contractor will implement the ‘2021 Gyeonggi Province Sports Human Rights Advancement Project’ from November through December.

As sports human rights becomes an increasingly important social issue, the province plans to expand the Gyeonggi Province Sports Human Rights Advancement Project by adding reporting and counseling services next year and significantly extending the project period from year-end to year-round (from early year through December).

A Gyeonggi Province official stated, “Human rights in the sports sector is currently an important social issue,” and added, “We hope that through Gyeonggi Province's sports human rights advancement project, the sports culture of Gyeonggi Province will develop and mature further.”
