[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family will hold an activity report meeting for the 3rd Butterknife Crew, a gender equality culture promotion group led by 2030 youth.

The 3rd Butterknife Crew, launched last May, consists of about 80 young people and 21 teams, and over six months, they carried out 21 projects in nine areas including mental care, career development, and culture and arts, producing content such as videos, exhibitions, and lectures. The activity report meeting will be held on the 2nd at 7 p.m. at 'Youth Culture Space JU (JU) Donggyo-dong' in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

In the first part, the activities of the 3rd promotion team will be reviewed, and four teams, including the newly established mental care sector this year to support young people suffering from depression and isolation due to COVID-19, will present their activities as representatives.

In the family sector (1 team), the project "Yukappa Bansanghoe" by Project Question will be presented, which includes lectures helpful for gender-equal parenting life and shares experiences such as men's career breaks due to parenting and single fathers' parenting experiences, raising questions about discrimination faced by various families in society.

In the mental care sector (2 teams), InterV's "InterV Universe COVID Daily Check-in" project, which planned a service where women in their 20s and 30s struggling with employment due to COVID-19 enjoy content featuring peers on SNS and share emotional bonds, and EssayF's "If Not Me, Who Will Take Care of Me" project, which conducted activity programs using picture books and one-sentence writing meetings for women, will be unveiled.

In the culture and arts sector (1 team), the Women's Video Network FFF's "Surviving as a Woman in the Industry" project, which conducted an online training program to help women working in the video industry develop their careers, will be introduced.

The results of the promotion team's activities can be viewed on the online homepage, and online training programs (workshops) and offline exhibitions for the general public will be held until the 18th to share the achievements.

The discussion content and results of the newly promoted "Communication Forum" this year to bridge the perception gap between young men and women will be produced as card news.

Jeong Young-ae, Minister of Gender Equality and Family, said, "The activities of the youth gender equality culture promotion team have great significance in that young people creatively solve gender equality issues they face in daily life, spreading a culture of gender equality throughout our society. We will actively share and disseminate various results containing the concerns and efforts of young people so that they can be used to move our society toward gender equality."
