[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Guri City launched a 'domestic violence and sexual violence prevention campaign' on the 18th at Guri Station Plaza to create a safe local community free from domestic violence and sexual violence.

The campaign brought together officials from Guri City's Family Welfare Division, Guri Police Station, Guri Family and Gender Integration Counseling Support Center, and Gyeonggi Province Women's Organization Council Guri Branch, who informed citizens about the importance of domestic violence and sexual violence prevention and provided guidance on victim support systems.

Participants distributed promotional materials and informational brochures while marching through the streets, emphasizing that domestic violence and sexual violence are not individual issues but problems that all members of society must work together to resolve.

The event featured hand-held signs and banners with violence prevention messages to raise public awareness, while conducting publicity activities to foster healthy family culture and expand gender equality awareness.

Pyo Young-sil, director of the City's Family Welfare Division, stated, "Domestic violence and sexual violence are not individual problems but important social issues that our society must work together to prevent and address," and added, "Going forward, we will continue to collaborate closely with relevant agencies to pursue diverse projects and awareness improvement activities for violence prevention and victim protection."
