This agreement was established to promote joint collaboration between the two organizations in the production of short films for gender equality education, the spread of awareness of gender equality and violence prevention through screening and utilization of these films, cooperation in gender equality and violence prevention education, and other mutual support and cooperation.
After the signing of the agreement, a cooperative system for the spread of gender equality culture using film content will be fully operational, based on the Korea Institute for Gender Equality Promotion and Education's capacity to develop gender equality education content and the Seoul International Women's Film Festival's experience in spreading film culture.
