Abstract
This study was conducted to provide basic data regarding the safety of Hwaseong for women. Data regarding sexual violence awareness and damages were collected from 514 women aged 20 to 65 living in Hwaseong. The results were then compared with national survey data from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2010 and 2013. Hwaseong is a wide city composed of an urban and urban-rural complex. Data were analyzed to identify regional differences between urban and urban-rural complexes and educational differences between below college graduates and above university graduates. The ratios of awareness of sexual violence behavior, laws, and services were somewhat lower than the 2013 national research ratios. Second, women in the urban-rural complex showed a higher awareness of sexual violence behaviors and higher level of sexual violence myths. Third, the tendencies of sexual violence damages were similar to the 2013 national research. Fourth, women with higher education showed a higher level of sexual violence myths and a higher ratio of sexual violence damage.
