Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Women's Counseling Center Counselors are welfare professionals who provide consultation responses, information provision, and coordination of support measures for women-specific issues such as DV, abuse, divorce, child-rearing support, etc.
Description
Women's Counseling Center Counselors handle consultations on various issues faced by women, such as domestic violence (DV), sexual violence, abuse, divorce, child-rearing, and employment support. They assess situations through face-to-face consultations, phone consultations, and home visits. As needed, they refer to shelters or specialized institutions, support utilization of administrative services and welfare systems, and collaborate with related organizations (police, child welfare centers, medical institutions, etc.) to ensure women's safety and support their self-reliance. They also engage in training and awareness activities to raise community awareness and promote prevention.
Future Outlook
Due to the growing social needs for DV countermeasures and women's self-reliance support, demand for this specialized profession is expected to remain stable. In the future, deepening specialized knowledge, ICT utilization, online consultations, multi-professional collaboration, and development of gender-sensitive support methods will be required.
