So we protested against it…Still in Korean society, many consider rape to be the fault of the women because of their provocativebehavior. It is believed that Korean women need to be beaten on a regular basis in order for them tostay obedient to their husbands this is used as an excuse to accept and ignore domestic violence.Around 1 million women are working in the sexual industry.Patriarchal society – “householder” HojujehBirth ration: 109:100 for boys: girls because boys are preferred and female fetuses are often aborted.Head of household is “Hoju”. When a son is born, he is registered being the son of his father and hisstatus is noted. When the father dies, the son becomes the householder even if the wife is still aliveand the daughter is older than the son. The wife has no legal right to become the householder even ifthe son is still a minor. Socially, economically, and culturally responsible for the household, butlegally she has no rights. It used to be obligatory to keep the father’s family name. The birthrate inKorea is very low because it’s difficult for women to care for children and work; there is muchdiscrimination against women.
