South Korea chapter of WDI has launched. It aims to protect women's sex-based rights and raise awareness on the problems of 'gender identity' ideology. We are gathering signatures on the opposition of including 'gender identity' in the anti-discrimination law that some parties and organizations are pushing for. You can see our document about the problems of the anti-discrimination law and give your signatures through this link.

WDI의 한국지부가 설립되었습니다. 이 단체는 여성의 성별에 기반한 권리를 보호하고 '젠더 정체성' 이데올로기가 가진 문제에 대한 사회적 인식을 높이는 것을 목적으로 합니다. 현재 일부 정당과 단체가 입법을 추진하고 있는 차별금지법에 '젠더 정체성'이 포함되는 것에 반대하는 서명을 모으고 있습니다. 이 링크를 통해 차별금지법의 문제에 대한 문서를 읽을 수 있으며 서명에 참여하실 수 있습니다.

Local Gender ID Laws:

South Korea does not have a law on 'gender identity' yet. National Human Rights Commission Act defines 19 categories of basis of discrimination this law prohibits, and they include sex and sexual orientation but not 'gender identity.' However, major human rights NGOs and women's organizations, along with queer activists, have been pushing for the passage of anti-discrimination law which has a clause for protection of 'gender identity' against discrimination over a decade. Movements for sexual minorities have grown considerably over the last decade and its impacts are manifested in the replacement of the word 'lesbians' with 'queer women' and expansion of sexual liberalism that facilitates the 'sex work' ideology.
