끝나지 않은 이야기: 남한의 반 성매매 운동에 관하여 _ CWSE / August 3, 2010

토론토에서 일어나는 일들이, 거기를 떠나고 나서도 좀 궁금하다.
메일링리스트로 온 이 행사 안내를 보고 있자니 나도 가보고싶다, 하는 마음이 생기네.
반 성매매 운동의 논의 자체가 궁금하다기 보다는, 어떻게 이야기되고 받아들여지는지,가 궁금해서.
무엇보다도 눈에 확, 띤 건, 한국말로 이야기하고 통역을 해준다는 것.
흐흐.

The Unfinished Story:
An exploration of the anti-sex trafficking movement in South Korea
with Jinkyeong Cho

In South Korea, a movement has gained momentum that addresses prostitution as a system based on violence and exploitation. During Japanese colonization and years of war and dictatorship, women’s bodies were used as tools of economic growth and national security, and prostitution became a booming industry that is inextricably linked to sex trafficking. Women’s bodies are treated as consumer products that flow across borders, and women’s organizations in South Korea have come together to fight the sex trafficking industry, and in the process have condemned all forms of sexual exploitation.
This seminar addresses the work of these organizations and the theoretical underpinnings of how the sex trade is addressed in South Korea.
