The post comes amid growing concerns over public displays of intolerance in South Korean society.
A photo posted on an online community on Monday showed a cafe with text on the door that reads: “No-senior zone .”The netizen who posted the photo criticised the cafe, saying: “I do not know why the owner of the cafe has decided to put up such signs, but I’m worried that my parents might see them while passing by.”
The post comes amid growing concerns over public displays of intolerance in the South Korean society. In an attempt to raise public awareness on such discriminatory actions, Representative Yong Hye-in of the minor progressive Basic Income Party last week made a speech against no-kid zones with her 23-month-old son by her side at the National Assembly.“To address the issue of the lowest fertility rates in the world, we must transform a culture that marginalises both children and the elderly,” Yong said.
The ordinance submitted to the council attempts to “recommend” businesses not to designate themselves as no-kid zones in order to protect human rights and to create an environment for children’s healthy development and growth.
