our embassy installed in other countries, there are constant cases of sexual harassment by our employees.

In August, when the sexual harassment case of a New Zealand diplomatic official turned into a diplomatic issue, a foreign ministry official told SBS that the Korean Embassy in Nigeria also requested anonymity that a local sexual harassment incident by a Korean administrative employee had occurred.



It is reported that Mr. A, an administrative staff member, made inappropriate physical contact with a local woman in her twenties who cleans the residence of the residence, such as dragging her hand to the bed.



It was confirmed that the shocked victim told the embassy sexual grievance officer through her acquaintance that she wanted to quit.



However, the local government officials used the sexual grievance officer to grasp the situation and collect opinions from employees, but the case was virtually closed on the line where Mr. A voluntarily resigned without reporting to the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This happened at the time when Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha emphasized the zero-tolerance principle in a sexual harassment case at the New Zealand mission.

This incident and other issues of sexual misconduct among overseas diplomatic missionaries are a hot issue even in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Bureau's supervision on the 7th. It seems to be.
