Habitat for Humanity Korea Launches 'Safe Housing Campaign for Victims of Violence' with Choreographer Monica View original image

On December 4, Habitat for Humanity Korea announced that it will be conducting an advocacy campaign for the right to safe housing for victims of violence, in collaboration with choreographer Monica, through the 'With Whistle Safe Housing Campaign for Victims of Violence.' The campaign aims to create a safe residential environment for victims and promote policy improvements for facilities and housing.


Through the official campaign page, Habitat for Humanity Korea is collecting signatures in support of extending the residence period at shelters for victims of violence, improving living conditions, and expanding connections to safe housing. The collected signatures will be delivered to relevant government ministries to urge policy improvements.


To encourage greater public participation, the campaign will also feature a dance challenge and a fundraising initiative. Choreographer Monica and nine dancers have created the With Whistle Dance Challenge to the song 'Break Free' by the singer-songwriter group LAS, to show support for victims of violence. In addition, a Naver Happybean fundraising campaign will run concurrently. The 'With Whistle Keyring,' developed in collaboration with the design studio Going Studio, will be offered as a fundraising item, with all proceeds directly supporting projects to improve the living environment for victims of violence.


Monica, the campaign ambassador, stated, "It is heartbreaking that people feel unsafe in what should be the safest place-their own home. I participated in this campaign to encourage victims of violence to regain their confidence and return to their brighter selves."



Lee Gwanghoe, Secretary General of Habitat for Humanity Korea, said, "We expect that our collaboration with choreographer Monica will help raise social awareness about the housing rights of victims of violence. Along with direct initiatives such as home repairs, shelter renovations, and providing 'Safe Home Sets' for emergencies, we will also actively pursue activities to promote policy improvements."
