This article examines the legislation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) related to violence against women to identify the sufficiency of its protection according to international standards, as well as the adequacy of implementation. The DPRK criminalizes violence against women through national laws, including the Law on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Women adopted in 2010. However, domestic violence remains inadequately regulated, and a comprehensive definition of sexual violence including marital rape has not been introduced. This fundamentally derives from the customs of the DPRK’s patriarchal society where the notion of dominance of men over women prevails. Violence against women is a violation of human rights which has generally resulted from the inequality of power between the sexes. Based on recognition of the root causes, the DPRK needs to improve legislation for the protection and support of victims of violence against women.
Abstract
This article examines the legislation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) related to violence against women to identify the sufficiency of its protection according to international standards, as well as the adequacy of implementation. The DPRK criminalizes violence against women through national laws, including the Law on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Women adopted in 2010. However, domestic violence remains inadequately regulated, and a comprehensive definition of sexual violence including marital rape has not been introduced. This fundamentally derives from the customs of the DPRK’s patriarchal society where the notion of dominance of men over women prevails. Violence against women is a violation of human rights which has generally resulted from the inequality of power between the sexes. Based on recognition of the root causes, the DPRK needs to improve legislation for the protection and support of victims of violence against women.
