The silence of Democratic Party lawmaker Nam In-soon, who was revealed to have relayed the suspected sexual harassment of the late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon to Seoul, is lengthening. Kim Young-soon, the executive representative of the Federation of Korean Women’s Organizations, who conveyed this fact to Congresswoman Nam, also did not express any other position other than to withdraw from the governing commission. Within the world of women there is a voice that it is necessary to look back to see if the women’s movement has neglected the essence of ‘solidarity with the victims’ in the process of collaboration with the political world. On the 30th of last month, the Seoul Northern District Prosecutor’s Office announced that the fact that the victim was going to sue Mayor Park for the “ Me Too case ” was conveyed to Mayor Park through the Special Gender Report of Kim Young-soon → Rep. Nam In-soon → Lim Soon-young. Representative Nam started the policy as a proportional representative while serving as the general secretary of the Korean Women’s Association and permanent representative. Lim served as an assistant to Congressman Nam. The Korean Women’s Association said, “I sincerely apologize to the victims and joint action groups who fought to uncover the truth” on the day of the results of the prosecution’s investigation. However, in July of last year, “I did not know that Mayor Park was suing. Representative Nam, who said, “Please refrain from speculative reporting (that you informed the city of Seoul of the complaint),” did not show any reaction even though the results of the investigation overturned his earlier claims. A ruling party official said: “Isn’t there a situation where there is nothing more to say?” Last year, when Democratic lawmakers discussed the content of a statement on Mayor Park’s case, it emerged that Congresswoman Nam claimed the phrase “a victim of victims” instead of “a victim,” and the situation is getting worse. . Finally, on the 4th, in front of the office of the Federation of Korean Women’s Organizations in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, a large letter written by a person posing as the “youngest activist” of a women’s organization was published. The author wrote: “This situation stems from the closed and vertical attitude of the representatives.” “I urge you to break the hierarchical order of the organization so that the victims are no longer isolated and to continue a movement without collusion with politics.” In the process of increasing participation in political relations among women in women’s organizations, healthy tensions were eased, while young women were unable to speak in a vertical organizing atmosphere. Some voices say that the apology and honest clarification of the parties is needed so that the controversy over the leakage of the accusation through a women’s organization does not obscure the nature of the Mayor Park case. Sohn Hee-jeong, professor of academic research at Kyung Hee University Comparative Culture Research Institute, said: “It is a natural response process for the victim’s attorney to ask for help from women’s organizations and women’s organizations to seek solidarity with other organizations. The problem is that the fact that the defendant entered Mayor Park’s ear, and it is not correct to criticize this point as a single mass without dividing it. “It is difficult to understand that the person in question, like Congressman Nam, should come and explain this situation in person, but staying silent is difficult.” An official from a women’s organization who requested anonymity said: “As seen in the recent abolition, collaboration between the world of women and politicians is essential for the help of women’s organizations to lead to institutionalization and legalization. However, it has been confirmed that the tensions necessary for the influx of women’s organizations to politicians have also been resolved. With this opportunity, we need to reorganize the relationship between women’s organizations and politics ”. By Lim Jae-woo, Staff Reporter [email protected]
