One of the two powerful women’s groups here remains silent about Rep. Lee Jae-oh’s controversial remarks that he believes South Korea is not yet ready for a female President.
Claiming that this will hold true until the two Koreas unite, the lawmaker aimed his comments at Rep. Park Geun-hye, a presidential hopeful with unrivaled support in the ruling camp.
The Korean Women’s Association United (KWAU), one of two core entities whose role is to helping the gender equality movement here bear fruit, has not released any statements in response to the politician’s sexist remark.
