인권도시관점에서의 대구시 쟁점과 과제

초록

Daegu City has implemented various policies to become a human rights city, yet citizens still perceive the level of human rights protection as insufficient. This study analyzes Daegu’s human rights situation using statistics from the National Human Rights Commission and the Daegu Human Rights Status Survey, comparing it with Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, and Gwangju. The analysis shows: First, the number of consultations in Daegu has declined compared to other cities, with a high proportion related to unfair treatment in medical institutions. Discrimination cases often involved public services, disabilities, sexual harassment, social status, and gender. While the case closure rate increased, the decrease in total consultations limited the perceived improvement. Second, petitions in Daegu have generally increased over the past five years, with many involving educational and judicial institutions. Discrimination-related petitions were mainly about disability, gender, sexual harassment, age, and social status. Third, human rights education sessions and participation have declined annually. Based on these results, this study suggests policy and practical implications to strengthen Daegu’s human rights initiatives and proposes strategies for its development as a human rights city.
