Police Discrimination Against Women

Freedom and safety go hand in hand. The oppression of a certain group of people, whether it is based on race, gender, sexuality, or any combination thereof, puts those people in danger of discrimination and often times physical harm.

While it is merely a frightening fantasy for us, it is an even more terrifying reality for the people of Korea. Terrifying government control means no freedom and, if public executions and death threats are anything to go by, no
