Women’s groups hailed a South Korean<\/a> court decision recognising misogyny as a motive for a hate crime<\/p>\n

A South Korean court has recognised misogyny as a motive for a hate crime, its spokesperson told AFP Thursday, a decision activists hailed as a breakthrough for women’s rights.<\/p>\n

The ruling was made in connection to a case where a convenience store worker was attacked by a man shouting “feminists deserve to be beaten” because she had short hair.<\/p>\n

The Changwon District Court on Tuesday upheld the assailant’s three-year jail term — and added a clause in its ruling that explicitly stated the crime was motivated by misogyny.<\/p>\n

The assailant, who was in his 20s, committed the crime “based on unfounded hatred and prejudice against women, which constitutes a condemnable motive for the offence,” the court ruled, a spokesperson told AFP Thursday.<\/p>\n

The verdict cannot be appealed, he added.<\/b><\/p>\n

The victim lost hearing in her left ear after the attack and has been unemployed, according to activists supporting her.<\/p>\n

The victim’s lawyer welcomed the decision, saying it paved the way for a safer country for women.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“So far, I personally have not seen cases where the court has explicitly identified misogyny as a condemnable motive for a crime,” Lee Gyeong-ha, the victim’s lawyer, bokep chindo<\/a> told AFP.<\/p>\n

“Many perpetrators claim, ‘I don’t hate women; I just hate feminists’.<\/b><\/p>\n

“This ruling is significant because it clarifies saying things like “feminists deserve to be beaten” is also rooted in misogyny.”<\/p>\n

While South Korea is a leading technological power and major pop culture exporter, it remains a socially conservative society with a poor record on women’s rights.<\/p>\n

The country is currently grappling with a deepfake porn crisis, with the vast majority of the victims being young girls.<\/p>\n

Before being elected, President Yoon Suk Yeol claimed South Korean women did not suffer from “systemic gender discrimination”, despite gaps in wages and workforce participation.<\/p>\n

He won office in 2022 in part on a campaign pledge to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality.<\/b><\/p>\n

During the Tokyo Games in 2021, triple Olympic champion An San was bullied online and offline for having short hair — which was taken to mean she was a feminist. Some detractors went so far as to demand she hand back her medals and apologise.<\/p>\n

Women’s activists in South Gyeongsang Province, where the crime occurred, described Tuesday’s ruling as a “historic<\/a> moment.”<\/p>\n

“Misogynistic crimes that have not been adequately punished in court have reinforced gender stereotypes, hindered gender equality,” Lee Gyeong-ork of the Gyeongnam Women’s Association told AFP.<\/p>\n
