Historic Event
It was when the liberated country was inundated with joy over the historic proclamation of the Law on Sex Equality.
One day President Kim Il Sung heard from some woman officials that the women whose dignity and independence had been trampled down for a long period of time were making up their minds to devote themselves to the building of a new country with hearty thanks to the President, who had brought a fresh hopeful life for them.
The President said that the enforcement of the Law on Sex Equality granted Korean women genuine democratic rights and freedom and opened up a broad avenue for creating a new life, which was a great event in the development of our national history.
The officials were accordingly gripped by instant excitement.
Looking at them from one to another, he taught a lot of things on exercising the equality item by item in real life.
That day he gave a precious instruction that all women should learn after the woman fighters of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army who fought bravely with arms in their hands just like men for the liberation of the country and the social liberation of women in the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle so as to boldly get rid of old ideas and conventions and to take an active part in the worthwhile struggle for the construction of a new country.
