I wish you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous Year of the Rabbit.

Over the past year, the SFWF has made consistent efforts to achieve the core tasks of the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) and open a new chapter in the history of our foundation. In particular, we held the vision declaration ceremony to mark the SFWF’s 20th anniversary, opened the Seoul City Digital Sexual Crime Victim Support Center under the SMG’s “Accompanying the Vulnerable” philosophy, and provided support to the “Mommy and Daddy Happiness Project,” which aims to make Seoul a great city in which to raise children

With the SMG’s core tasks being implemented in earnest in 2023, the SFWF will be focusing its expertise and capabilities on the following three tasks to provide support preemptively and carry out the policies of the SMG as a platform for directly supporting the work, care, and safety of citizens

First, we will do our best to support women in their efforts to return to work after career breaks.

Second, we will strengthen the efficiency and excellence of the Seoul-type.

Third, we will establish the first violence response and support team to create content on preventing.

In 2023, the Year of the Rabbit, which symbolizes prosperity and wisdom, the SFWF will be working closely with women, children, and families in Seoul and striving to ensure that Seoul citizens can lead happy lives.

I always deeply appreciate the strong support of Seoul citizens and, once again, hope that the new year brings good luck and prosperity to you all.

Thank you.

President, Seoul Foundation of Women and Family
