Coalition for the Enactment of the Discrimination Prohibition Act on February 23 to seek effective measures to respond to hatred and discrimination. We also monitored the latest developments in legislation, media reports, and outside discussions on a continued basis. On August 17, we examined cases of hate speech that occurred during the 7th local elections and staged a seminar to seek ways to address hate speech in elections. On November 22, we held another seminar to examine intergenerational conflict that may lead to greater issues such as hostility against seniors and to discuss policies and systems required to resolve such intergenerational conflict from the perspective of human rights. In order to maximize the efficiency of our performance and ensure prompt responses regarding hatred and discrimination, we formed the Planning Group for Response to HateMotivated Discrimination in January 2019, which is responsible for all hatred and discrimination tasks across-the-board. This planning group is charged with conducting factual surveys and research on hatred and discrimination, publicizing related issues, engaging in education and promotional activities to improve the public's awareness, developing relevant standards for different areas of society and eliciting compliance, and collaborating with human rights agencies and organizations in Korea and beyond.
