The NHRCK has tried to lay an institutional foundation for human
rights education by organizing traveling forums under the theme of
enacting a human rights statute in such cities as Busan, Gwangju,
Daegu, Daejeon, etc. The Commission also braced up in-school human
rights education by signing an MOU with the Education Offices of
Daegu, Seoul, Gwangju, etc. to facilitate the implementation of the
comprehensive recommendations for the creation of human rights
friendly school culture.
The NHRCK strengthened its linkage to the international human
rights education mechanism. For instance, the Commission attended the
fourth International Conference on Human Rights Education, and
organized a round table with the Japanese General Research Institute of
the Convention on the Rights of the Child to discuss the promotion of
children's human rights and fostering human rights friendly school
culture, and took part in the international human rights education
experts conference co-organized by the UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights and the Irish National Human Rights Institution.

The NHRCK set as major performance goals for 2013: i) promoting
human rights and preventing sexual harassment for vulnerable groups
including women, ii) protecting the human rights of social minority
