On January 14, the Ewha Global Institute for Sustainable Partnership and Empowerment (EGISE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korean Peninsula Women and Children’s Health Forum at the EGISE offices located in Ewha Campus Complex (ECC). The agreement aims to promote cooperation to enhance the health of women and children on the Korean Peninsula and to foster sustainable social development in preparation for the era of reunification.
Under the agreement, the two organizations will cooperate in the following areas:
▲ research and academic collaboration on women’s and children’s health
▲ cooperation in education and human resource development
▲ policy, governance, and external cooperation
▲ field-based social contribution and practical projects in preparation for reunification (including maternal and child health,
environmental improvement, and international development cooperation)
▲ other mutually agreed areas of cooperation.
Building on this partnership, the two institutions plan to promote the accumulation of knowledge related to the health of women and children on the Korean Peninsula, as well as to strengthen collaboration in research, education, policy, and the development of field-based infrastructure in preparation for reunification.
The signing ceremony was attended by Eunhee Ha, MD. Ph.D, Director of the EGISE and Kang Yun-hee, Ph.D, Representative of the Korean Peninsula Women and Children’s Health Forum. The participants exchanged views on establishing a foundation for a sustainable society on the Korean Peninsula, as well as on strategies to guarantee and promote the rights to health and education for women and children.
EGISE expressed its expectation that the agreement will further strengthen mutual cooperation in building infrastructure for the health, education, and human resource development of women and children on the Korean Peninsula. Meanwhile, the Korean Peninsula Women and Children’s Health Forum noted that, as it is actively implementing various initiatives to enhance and protect educational opportunities and health for women and children in preparation for reunification, this MOU will serve as an important opportunity to expand the scope of its activities.
