Korea Exchange (KRX) said on the 13th that it co-hosted a "Ring the Bell for Gender Equality" event with the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), UN Women, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

Held at the comprehensive public relations center of the exchange's Seoul headquarters, the event was conducted under the theme "Rights, justice, and action for all women and girls," with 115 global exchanges participating.

Launched in 2015, the event is carried out in the form of bell-ringing ceremonies at exchanges in each country to raise awareness of private-sector cooperation to achieve gender equality.

It began with seven exchanges in 2015, and 111 participated in 2024, with 126 exchanges taking part last year.
