Hwasun-gun Conducts In-Person Consulting for Gender Impact Assessment in Business Sectors

Leading the Realization of Gender Equality Policies

On the 20th, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 21st that it conducted one-on-one face-to-face consulting by inviting gender impact assessment experts from the Jeonnam Women and Family Foundation for 20 project managers from 12 departments at the Yeomiwon in the county office.

Among the 45 detailed projects submitted by each department until May, 20 projects were finally selected by the Gender Impact Assessment Committee based on the suitability review results of the target projects by gender impact assessment experts from the Jeonnam Women and Family Foundation.

The 20 consulting target projects were primarily selected from new projects, job-related projects, and youth support projects.

Through this face-to-face consulting, Hwasun-gun plans to support the implementation of a gender-sensitive perspective throughout the entire gender impact assessment process of the projects, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the system through policy improvement.

A county official said, “We hope that the face-to-face consulting will serve as an opportunity for project managers to increase their understanding of gender impact assessments, and we will continue to do our best to realize substantive gender equality by improving discriminatory elements through gender impact assessments of laws and major policies.”
