Hwaseong Scholarship Hall Implements Sexual Violence Prevention Education

Hwaseong Scholarship Hall (Director Oh Byung-yeop) announced that it is conducting sexual violence prevention education for approximately 280 residents and employees over six sessions from the 4th to the 11th.

The sexual violence prevention education program is part of the Korea Gender Equality Education Promotion Institute's outreach sexual violence prevention education project, conducted by specialized instructors from the Korea Youth Sexual Culture Center Council (attorneys Sun Jong-moon and Kim Bong-gyu, and education instructors Hwang Eun-sik, Kim Hye-mi, and Lee Mi-hwa).

Attorney Sun Jong-moon, who conducted the first sexual violence prevention education session at Hwaseong Scholarship Hall, stated, "The program consisted of content that can provide practical assistance to residents and staff, including addressing misconceptions and prejudices about sexual harassment, prostitution, and sexual violence, prevention and response guidelines, methods of handling sexual harassment, and sexual crime laws and punishment systems."

The education program was designed to establish correct values regarding sexuality, prevent sexual harassment, prostitution, and sexual violence, and foster a healthy scholarship hall culture that promotes gender equality awareness and mutual respect and consideration.

Director Oh Byung-yeop said, "Through sexual violence prevention education, we plan to make continuous efforts in 'creating a safe and happy scholarship hall' by enhancing residents and employees' sensitivity to human rights and establishing correct values regarding sexual culture, enabling them to respect and consider one another."
