I heard through the grapevine that there is a battered women's shelter in or around Waegwan. Does anyone know anything about this? If it's true could I get the address and or contact info?

Thanks

Still can't use the internet in Korean? Come on... you're looking for ��ϸ��ڿ� in ��, across from Jungang Elementary School in the little finger of town that runs north of Camp Carroll. A general social-services-for-women outfit which also provides shelter, or so it appears.

At this writing, all given websites for Sangnok are down. I gather that they are associated in some way with the Waegwan Abbey, so you might start by inquiring there (where there are people who speak English and German).

While I'd like to thank you for the help, you can keep the snarky attitude to yourself. I can use the internet in Korean, but it is much more convenient and efficient to ask such a question on a forum where people speak my native language and may have had first hand experience and knowledge about the place I am looking for.

Thanks

Wow, that comment was rude. There must be some background to this one, or someone is using a sock to made smart remarks.

Sorry, madtinkerer, I mistook you for someone with a sense of humor. Won't happen again.

However, thanks for reminding me of why I seldom post here.

If I were looking for a battered women's shelter, I wouldn't be in the mood for joking around.

I hope you found the shelter helpful. Good luck to you or the person you are trying to help.

You'd think with the way Korean society views women's rights, there would be more shelters around the country.

If you are trying to help someone~ good luck to you and I wish the person the very best.

I keep saying, Korea can be a very good place. But it can be hell on earth too.

My college have a student help-center, and one of the things they have there is crisis assistance councellor. Too bad its in Korean though.
