Osan City Recruiting 30 Citizens for Third-Term Civic Participation Committee for Gender-Friendly City Development

[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won Reporter] Osan City will be accepting applications until the 29th for the Third-Term Civic Participation Committee, which will implement related activities including proposing progressive policies and conducting administrative monitoring to create a gender-friendly city where all citizens can live safely and happily.

The recruitment will accept up to 30 people, and any Osan City residents who are interested in gender-friendly city development and are able to participate actively and engage in related activities may apply.

The term of office for civic participation committee members is two years from the date of appointment. Following their appointment, members will complete capacity-building training for their activities and then perform duties including presenting progressive opinions on gender-friendly city development, identifying gender imbalances and inconveniences in daily life, and conducting monitoring activities from a gender-friendly perspective across municipal administration, including public facilities and public services.

Interested Osan City residents can apply by downloading the application form from the city website, completing it, and then either visiting the City Hall's Family and Childcare Department (Family and Women's Team) in person or submitting it via email. Selection results will be announced individually in April.

Osan City has been actively carrying out various monitoring activities since launching its first civic participation committee in 2021 to ensure that gender equality and gender-sensitive awareness are reflected throughout the city's administration. Through these efforts, Osan was certified and designated as a gender-friendly city by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in January 2022.

Lee Myeong-suk, Director of the Family and Childcare Department, said, "This year we are recruiting passionate third-term citizens for our gender-friendly city civic participation committee, and we hope for the active interest and participation of all our citizens in creating a gender-friendly Osan."
