양성평등문화 확산을 위한 정책과제 개발

Suggested Policies and Projects for Reinforcing Gender-Equality Culture

1. 연구의 필요성 및 목적 양성평등사회 구현을 위해서는 법과 제도뿐만 아니라 양성평등적 문화조성이 반드시 필요하다. 그러나 이러한 필요성에도 불구하고 양성평등문화 확산 노력은 여성정책 중에 큰 비중을 차지하기 못하고 있다. 이는 국민의 의식과 행동을 전환시키고자 하는 목표가 단기적으로 성과를 이루기 어렵기 때문이겠지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 양성평등사회의 실현을 앞당기기 위해서는 시대변화와 흐름에 맞는 양성평등문화 확산 사업의 집행이 필수적이다. 본 연구는 지금까지의 국내외 성평등 사업을 검토하고 전문가회의와 시민인터뷰를 통해 새로운 정책요구를 반영하여 실효성을 담보할 수 있고, 기존세대와 다른 의식과 생활패턴을 갖는 새로운 세대의 욕구에 주안점을 둔 효과적인 양성평등문화 확산사업을 개발하고자 한다. 2. 연구 내용 가. 양성평등 현황과 방향 나. 기존 양성평등문화 확산사업 내용과 실적 다. 해외 양성평등문화 확산사업 우수사례 라. 양성평등문화 사업에 대한 전문가와 시민 의견 분석 마. 양성평등문화 확산사업 개발

This study attempts to develop policies and projects for reinforcing gender equality culture and ultimately building gender equal society. The research methods employed are threefold: first, we built a theoretical perspective to define what a gender equal culture is. Second, we analyzed the gender equality projects which have been executed in Korea and also the countries advanced in terms of gender equality level to find out what they have accomplished and in what way they have to be complemented. Third, we consulted experts and interviewed citizens for the direction and contents of gender equality policies and projects in the future. The analysis of the preexisting domestic projects shows that they have focused on raising people's gender equality awareness and changing culture and ways of life through gender equality education, media, festivals, campaigns, and cooperation with business entities. The foreign cases show that they also have implemented gender equality education and awareness raising. However, they particularly emphasized the effort to use gender equality perspective to explore the nation's vision and to develop a new gender equality paradigm. For example, the Nordic countries provide research funding to align social innovation with gender equality and make efforts to encourage men to actively participate in gender equality projects. The interviews with experts and citizens yielded the ideas for innovating gender equality policies and projects such as the establishment of public relation strategies for enhancing the image of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, improvement of the quality of gender equality education, developing the gender equality projects with which men can sympathize, enlarging citizen participation, maximum utilization of media, and spreading women culture. This study recommends gender equality projects and strategies in the following four areas: strategizing public relation activities for gender equality policies and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family reinforcing gender equality consciousness, gender equality education and establishment of gender equality environment and development of a new paradigm. Some of them are construction of a participatory website which provides a channel to discuss and promote gender equality, development of gender equality narrative, establishment of gender equality experience center, promotion of non-gender stereotypical job and provision of regular exhibition of feminist movies.
