In DPRK, women are genuinely taking part in all social lives with dignity and right of master of state, society and their own destiny.

In the past, they experienced blatant discrimination in both family life and social life and enjoyed unprivileged life in contempt. As President Kim Il Sung liberated the country and proclaimed the Law on Sex Equality, the fundamental change was made in pioneering the position and destiny of Korean women.

Since then the role, mission and rights of women in our country have been legally guaranteed and the position and role of them have been increased persistently.

Our women go into all spheres of the society with same rights as men and receive preferential treatment.

They are elected deputies of power organs at all levels including the Supreme People’s Assembly and have full say at the ground discussing state affairs and are provided with enough rights to development which social being should have.

They also enjoy the rights to work as much as men and play a key role in state affairs as deputies of the Supreme People’s Assembly, professors, doctors, People’s Artistes and People’s Athletes and female officials.

The state shortens the labor hours of female workers blessed with children and provides them with enough conditions to work without anxiety through wonderful childcare bases and hospitals.

It becomes the social trait in our country to respect, value and give prominence to women. There are many examples which show the feature of our society in which the women are respected: hospitals for female; kindergartens in factories, rural villages across the country; social benefits allotted to prolific mothers; and all measures to free women from the heavy burden of household chores, etc.

Indeed, there are no happier women than ours who have and enjoy to the full the dignity and rights as social beings under the benevolent socialist system.

Therefore, lots of people in the world, hardly repressing their envy and admiration toward our happy women, praised that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a blessed land and ideal country to women.

Today, our women celebrate March 8 International Women’s Day with pride of glorifying their lives and dignity under the warm paternal love of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un.
