South Korea: The Feminist Hunters
Manage episode 459855762 series 1301291
Why feminism has become a dirty word in South Korea. Being a feminist is now something that can only be admitted in private, thanks to a fierce backlash against feminism. Anti-feminists accuse South Korean women who advocate for equality as being man-haters, worthy of punishment. Online witch-hunts - spearheaded by young male gamers - target women suspected of harbouring feminist views, bombarding them with abuse and demanding they be fired from their jobs. Jean Mackenzie investigates how these witch-hunts have silenced women, and asks what this means for the future of women's rights in a country where gender discrimination is still deeply entrenched.
Presenter: Jean Mackenzie Producers: John Murphy, Jake Kwon, Hosu Lee and Leehyun Choi Mixed by: Neil Churchill Production co-ordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Penny Murphy
