Anseong City Holds First Child-Friendly City Certification Plaque Unveiling Ceremony

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Anseong City held a "UNICEF Child-Friendly City Initial Certification Plaque Unveiling Ceremony" on December 12 in the first-floor lobby of Anseong City Hall Main Building.

The city obtained child-friendly city certification from the UNICEF Korea Committee on December 10, 2025. The unveiling ceremony was prepared to share this achievement with citizens and to publicize the city's determination to advance as a child-friendly city both internally and externally.

Notably, Anseong City has been actively pursuing the creation of a child-friendly city following the conclusion of a business agreement with UNICEF in July 2024.

Beginning with amendments to ordinances for child-friendly city development that same year, the city has laid institutional and administrative foundations to reflect children's rights throughout city administration, including the deployment of dedicated personnel and the implementation of child-friendly city standard surveys.

As a result of these efforts, Anseong City received child-friendly city certification, with the certification period maintained for four years from December 10, 2025 to December 9, 2029.

With this plaque unveiling as an opportunity, Anseong City plans to further solidify its status as a child-friendly city and to continuously promote practical child-friendly policies that children and citizens can experience together.
