Lecture
for Extermination of Sexual Violence
Opened
|
There was a lecture for eradicating
sexual violence in school and finding ways to liberating
the freedom in Resting place for female students
on April 12th. General coed Council planned the
event and the speaker was from the Korean sexual
violence Relief center. The lecture is to establish
right consciousness about sex on campus.
AhnPark Eun-jung, the speaker, said
that discussions on sex are regarded as if they
bore no relation to the social power, and so are
limited to biological aspects. She indicated that
present sex education was confined to explaining
the characteristics of body and forcing the notion
on women's virginity. Virginity is obliged to women,
while men are free from the misconception. Since
women were stereotyped by the environment, many
Koreans are caught by distorted ideas on sex.
University is not an exception. Students
enjoy watching disguised portrays of women in magazines
without any criticism. At the face of chronic sexual
harassments on campus, men are holding dominant
position like in society. Sexual violence should
be understood at the stand of women. People always
focused on matters how woman opposed against the
offender, which made people think the image of inferior
women. As long as sexual harassments on campus violate
one's sexual right and have bad effects on victims,
they should be dealt seriously. The council started
a signature-collecting campaign on May 1st to enact
the law to prohibit sexual violences in HUFS.
