Title ProperEvolution of gender politics in North Korea
LanguageENG
AuthorKIM, Natalya
Summary / Abstract (Note)Broader rights and greater opportunities granted to Korean women have been priorities in social policy of North Korea. The liberation of Korea from colonial dependence presented the country's leadership with the task of doing away with semi-feudal holdovers, one of which was female discrimination in family and public life. Equality of the sexes was based on the socialist concept of women's emancipation. After the establishment of juche as the state's ideology in North Korea, the development of rights and duties of women has received a new ideological backing largely based on traditional Korean values.
