[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] On the 15th, Uiwang City held the "2020 Gender Equality Prize Commendation Ceremony" at City Hall, presenting commendations to contributors who have advanced gender equality with the theme "One Step Here and Now Toward Gender Equality."
The city has held Gender Equality Week commemorative events annually. This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community and protect citizens' health and safety, only the commendation ceremony was held.
Kim Joo-young (37, male), Shin Bong-geum (61, female), and Choi Seon-mi (54, female) each received the Gender Equality Prize. The recipients were selected through deliberation by the Uiwang City Gender Equality Committee in July, in recognition of their contributions to realizing gender equality.
Mayor Kim Sang-don said, "I express regret that due to the cancellation of Gender Equality Week commemorative events caused by COVID-19, we were unable to share the joy of these awards with more people."
He continued, "The city will continuously promote projects for realizing gender equality so that citizens are not discriminated against based on gender and can enjoy equal opportunities and rights according to their abilities. We will make further efforts to ensure all citizens are satisfied across all sectors of city administration, including urban development, economy, and welfare."
