ABSTRACT

Korea’s Constitution, Article 11(1) prescribes, ‘All citizens shall be equal before the law, and there shall be no discrimination in political, economic, social or cultural life on account of sex, religion or social status’. The Constitution prescribes equal protection of citizens regardless of their gender. In this article, the efforts and tools for ensuring gender equality in Korea are introduced. The discussion mainly focuses on gender impact assessment and how it improves equal protection in Korea. Gender impact assessment is necessary because it contributes to policy improvement by removing gender discrimination in law and policy. The assessment also helps in preparing a substantial policy that guarantees gender equality through equal policy benefit, equal participation, and equal budget distribution for men and women. This article also covers the role of the Constitutional Court of Korea as a reviewer of the constitutionality of gender-based laws. The Constitutional Court has the authority to judge a law as unconstitutional. This can be seen as a form of legislative evaluation in Korea.

韩国的性别平等和基于性别的法律的立法评估

摘要

韩国宪法第11条第1款规定:“所有公民在法律面前一律平等,在政治,经济,社会或文化生活中不得因性别,宗教或社会地位而受到歧视”。《宪法》规定了对公民的平等保护,无论其性别如何。本文介绍了确保韩国性别平等的努力和工具。讨论主要集中在性别影响评估以及如何改善韩国的平等保护。性别影响评估是必要的,因为它通过消除法律和政策中的性别歧视而有助于改善政策。评估还有助于制定一项实质性政策,通过平等的政策利益,平等的参与和平等的男女预算分配来保证性别平等。本文还介绍了韩国宪法法院作为基于性别的法律是否符合宪法的审查者的作用。宪法法院有权判定某项法律违宪。这可以看作是韩国立法评估的一种形式。
