"#WithYou" on the front door. On November 18th, the rallies continued, this time at the square in front of
a Daegu department store in Dongseong-ro, Daegu. Female students dressed in black clothes and masks

affairs of teachers.” For the students, parents, and related teachers, it is necessary to objectively

communicate the correct facts. In order to prevent sexual harrassment, education for teachers in related

fields should also be carried out.
