The old sexually transmitted disease clinic that left Durebang … “Women’s lives must be preserved together”
A former military camp in Goseong-dong, in the outskirts of today's Goyang City, housed a women's health clinic called Durebang, which operated from 1979 until 2024. Durebang, a women's rights organization, has been supporting women living in the area for over a decade, providing counseling and historical education in the building.
The organization has requested that the community take responsibility for preserving the building as a community space, involving both the women and the organization in the decision-making process. A recent discussion at a public meeting highlighted the importance of preserving the history of the building, even if its original purpose changes.
