성평등입법과 Gender-Mainstreaming

Abstract

Korea has tried to amend discriminatory laws and improve unequal realities between women and men since 1980. As the results of legislative efforts, legal and institutional equality was achieved somewhat but gender-based inequality still remains in every areas of society. Gender-Mainstreaming, emphasized in 4th World Conference on Women, Beijing 1995, is recently adopted into policies in Korea. In this article, I analyse legislative changes that promote to transform Gender-Mainstreaming in only women-policies into Gender-Mainstreaming in all national public policies. And I focus on Gender Impact Assessment System(Women Development Act, 2002), Gender-Budget System(National Finance Act, 2006), Gender-Statistics System(Statistics Act, 2007) and the Review Standard of Legislation(2006) in the Ministry of Government Legislation. In conclusion, our task is to actualize Gender-Mainstreaming in the lawmaking process by adapting to gender perspective in government public policies.
