The council said it held “Education on Preventing the Four Major Types of Violence and Raising Disability Awareness” on November 3 for city council members and council officials.

The training covered key cases involving the four major types of violence—sexual harassment, sexual violence, prostitution, and domestic violence—and ways to prevent and respond to them. It also focused on protecting the rights of people with disabilities, preventing discrimination, and the importance of consideration and communication.

Led by a professional instructor, the training aimed to improve public officials’ gender sensitivity, dispel prejudice against people with disabilities, and foster a healthy organizational culture.

Council Chair Oh Segil said, “It is important to foster a culture of mutual respect and consideration in public service,” adding, “We will build a council trusted by citizens through ongoing prevention education and awareness-raising activities.”

Respect and consideration are the starting points of a healthy organization. It is important to establish a culture of public service that translates into action, rather than letting the training remain a one-off event.
