초록

Even though there has been a global consensus on the detrimental impacts of violence against women, the reasons behind the adoption of legislations addressing violence against women have not been thoroughly examined in the Asian context. With the focus on the role of women’s descriptive representation, this article aims to explain variations in lawmakers’ sponsorship behaviors on bills addressing violence against women using the original dataset about 67,686 bills proposed in the Korean National Assembly from the 17th (2004–2008) to the 20th (2016–2020) Congress. The empirical findings demonstrate that female legislators have a higher probability of sponsoring violence against women bills compared to their male counterparts. More interestingly, this article finds that there is a statistically and substantially significant relationship between the previous experience of cosponsoring violence against women bills with female legislators and the male legislators’ probabilities of sponsoring such bills. The findings are consistently robust in models estimated with the random effects of individual bills.
