Suwon Selects 5 Outstanding Gender Impact Assessment Projects...Accelerating Gender Equality Policies

Suwon Special City (Mayor Lee Jae-jun) held a '2026 Gender Impact Assessment Implementation Inspection Meeting' in the main conference room of City Hall on the 11th and reviewed the implementation results of gender impact assessment target projects from last year.

'Gender Impact Assessment' is a system aimed at examining how policies affect women and men, improving discriminatory elements in policies, and realizing gender equality. Gender Impact Assessment target projects are selected annually through deliberation and resolution by the Gender Impact Assessment Committee in June.

As a result of the inspection, 42 out of 64 gender impact assessment target projects from the previous year were completed. Among these, the policy improvement results of 10 projects selected through pre-departmental evaluation were reviewed by the 'Suwon Women-Friendly City Monitoring Group' based on citizens' perspectives and experiences.

▲Suwon Urban Architecture Culture Festival (Urban Policy Division, Urban Design Department) ▲Joint Re-enactment of King Jeongjo's Royal Procession (Culture, Tourism and Sports Bureau, Global Festival Division) ▲Citizens' Jury Court Operation (Citizen Communication Division, Communication Department) ▲Home Health Management Project (Gwonseon-gu Health Center, Health Management Department) ▲Guidance and Inspection of Youth-Harmful Businesses (Jangan-gu Family Welfare Department)—five projects were selected as outstanding projects.

The outstanding projects selected on this day will be presented as agenda items at the Suwon City Gender Impact Assessment Committee meeting scheduled to be held on December 3rd. Following deliberation and resolution by the Gender Impact Assessment Committee, the Suwon Mayor's Award will be presented to 3 outstanding departments (3 departments) and 3 outstanding civil servants (3 individuals) for the 2026 Gender Impact Assessment in 2026.

An official from Suwon City stated, "We have operated the Gender Impact Assessment system as a model and were selected as the most outstanding gender-aware policy institution in Gyeonggi Province this year. Going forward, we will continue to implement gender equality policies tailored to citizens' expectations and create a city where all citizens are happy."

The Suwon Women-Friendly City Monitoring Group was first formed in 2011 according to Article 24 of the 'Ordinance on Creating a Women-Friendly City in Suwon City.' Currently, the 8th monitoring group (30 members) is active.
