Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) held a rice cake sharing event on the 8th to support and encourage female public officials in celebration of 'International Women's Day.'
According to the county on the 9th, since the ratio of female to male public officials is each 50%, and the proportion of female public officials has been increasing recently, the event was organized to foster a culture of gender equality in the workplace and to reaffirm camaraderie based on mutual understanding and care among colleagues.
Governor Kim San said, "On the occasion of Women's Day, we will create a work environment where women can work comfortably and establish a workplace culture of mutual respect and consideration."
Meanwhile, 'International Women's Day,' which marks its 115th anniversary this year, began in 1908 to honor American female workers who died in a fire at a poor working environment. In South Korea, it has been a legal commemorative day since 2018 to promote the realization of gender equality.
