Gender Mainstreaming Strategy in Korea’s Women’s Policy and Feminism

In Tokyo in the year 2006, Daijin Hua of Beijing University explained about the situation in China. Under the slogan "Half of the Sky,' Chinese women who believed that they had achieved equality between men and women on a social level started studying western feminism for revolution in the private sector that western feminism had acquired, following the opening of doors to accept reform in the early 1980s. Of course, many women already assumed that the freedom and rights provided/allowed to them at the society level, while studying to secure freedom on a personal level, were already established. However, while women pursued freedom within the market's liberalism, the nation took back the social rights it had granted women for fifty years. All the while that women were holding heads up, searching for personal freedom, the social rights that they stood on were taken out from under their feet.
