Jungnang-gu Holds Ceremony to Celebrate UNICEF Child-Friendly City Certification
Pledging to Build a City Where Children Are Happy
On July 2, Jungnang-gu in Seoul held a ceremony in the main auditorium of the district office to commemorate its certification as a UNICEF Child-Friendly City (CFC), sharing its vision for a city where children's rights are realized in everyday life.
Since enacting an ordinance in 2022 to create a child-friendly city, the district has systematically established the foundation for promoting children's rights by securing dedicated personnel, forming a child policy participation group, conducting surveys on child-friendliness and collecting public opinions, operating children's rights education programs, and developing strategic plans.
In addition, the district is actively pursuing practical child policies, such as increasing the number of public indoor playgrounds to seven by the end of the year, operating six Our Neighborhood Care Centers, and running five youth community spaces called "Dinggadong."
A "Child-Friendly City" refers to a city that fulfills the four fundamental rights of children specified in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child?survival, protection, development, and participation?and provides policies, administration, and environments that allow children under the age of 18 to grow up safely and happily. The certification period lasts for four years, from June 5, 2024, to June 4, 2029.
