The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced the position of "looking as a victim of law" to former secretary A, who accused Park Won-soon of the former Mayor of Seoul's sexual harassment case to an investigative agency.

Hwang Yoon-jung, director of the Department of Leisure Affairs, Kwon Ik-Jung, at the Seoul Metropolitan Government Office today (16th) at the Seoul Government Office explaining the position of the Ministry of Leisure to reporters, regarding the controversy surrounding Mr. A's title, "I said.

There are some controversies regarding Mr. A's passport and some of the people in Seoul and other cities called the victims, not the victims.

On the 14th, the Ministry of Home Affairs also pointed out that some people pointed out that Mr. A was a'complainant' and that it was not appropriate as a ministry to protect victims of sexual crimes.

Today, the stance of the Leisure Ministry as a'victim of victims' seems to take this point into account.

When it came to knowing when Mr. A was suing Mayor Park, Hwang said, "For the protection of victims (the victims), the incidents that occur at the support organizations are not subject to individual reporting due to confidentiality principles."

Even if there was a report of Mayor Park's alleged sexual harassment reported to the Ministry of Leisure through Seoul, he said, "It is not confirmed in the system."

The issue that the Ministry of Leisure and Finance reports from each public institution or local government is related to the implementation of the procedure, such as the overall system and whether the manual is properly maintained.

However, Director Hwang said that he confirmed that Mayor Park participated in sexual harassment prevention education held in Seoul in 2018 as an agency head.

In this regard, Director Hwang said, "We have been submitted in writing and computerized as to whether each institution's (sex crime) prevention measures have been well done, and if necessary, we will also conduct on-site inspections." "I said.

"Especially for the heads of local governments and elected positions, the Ministry of Leisure and Welfare (the current system) considers that there is a limit to handling the case," he said. "

"It is not true that there is no support," said Hwang, saying that "the government does not support it."

Unlike Ahn Hee-jeong's former Governor of Chungnam, which quickly expressed support for victims in the case of sexual crimes, Chung-nam-do was part of the plan by announcing measures to eradicate sexual harassment and sexual violence in the public sector in February 2018. It is also included, and I know that it was done,” he said. “It is being inspected (for Seoul City) and is going to be inspected in the near future, while also examining whether further investigation is needed.”
