On January 18, a public lecture titled “The Genealogy of Women's Solidarity and Resistance: Stories of People Who Took to the Streets to End Discrimination” was held. A total of 37 people attended.
Lee Na-young, the chairperson and a professor of sociology at Chung-Ang University, gave a full-fledged lecture on the theme of “The Genealogy of Women's Solidarity and Resistance: Stories of People Who Took to the Streets to End Discrimination.” Why do we women gather in the street? Did women suddenly appear in the street? Are we an “unusual” group? While looking at the three waves of women's movements unique to Korea, which are a little different from those in the West, we have looked at the fact that we have been together “since the beginning” and “always” from the Japanese colonial period to the present.
We had a short but simple activity to make pickets. Participants were divided into 10 tables each for gender-based- violence, Japanese military sexual slavery, labor/poverty, anti-war peace, LGBTQAI+, care, disability, climate justice, and democracy movement, and they made various pickets by incorporating their agendas.
As we look at the various pickets, we hope the coming era will be filled with beautiful colors like a rainbow.
