74 272 312 | Sexual violence against women and girls 'rampant' in North Korea, March 8, 2018


There was a newly released report that documents endemic sexual violence against North Korean women and girls. Sexual assault and harassment are entrenched in all sectors of North Korea’s “misogynistic” society, reveals the report by London-based Korea Future Initiative, based on the testimony of more than 40 female defectors.

The report highlights how class, age and status offer no protection for female citizens of the hermit kingdom and how laws designed to uphold their rights are repeatedly bypassed by men with power, money and political influence.

It claims they “psychologically dominate women” to the extent that the authorities allow perpetrators of rape, sexual assault such as forced kissing, touching and groping to act with impunity.
