9) Conclusion Achievements Since the founding, KWWA has worked to develop policy responses to counter women’s employment insecurity, to eliminate wage discrimination and obtain equal pay, to expand maternity protection, and to obtain employment equality and legal reform to ensure compatibility of work and family. With the cooperation from the two national labor confederations and effort by women’s labor, several goals were achieved. These include employment equality measures including the provision of equal pay for equal work, prohibition of indirect discrimination, and prohibition of sexual harassment at the workplace. Also accomplished were legal protections for maternity such as 90 day maternity leave and complete socialization of the associated cost. KWWA was always the first to draw public attention to the condition and demands of women workers and taken action to urged policy changes. In the early 1990s when women workers’ employment insecurity spread as a result of industrial structural adjustment, KWWA raised awareness of the seriousness of women’s employment insecurity and proposed policy measures such as the establishment of employment insurance and better job training. From the late 1990s when women’s unemployment issue was becoming increasingly serious, KWWA tirelessly pressured the government to establish women’s unemployment policies. With increasing employment insecurity and irregular work after the IMF financial crisis, KWWA worked with the KWTU in creating exemplary cases of irregularly workers’ struggles to raise the profile of minimum wage and special employment issues which then became labor’s central demands. As a result, not only has KWWA placed these issues on the agenda of broader social movements, but also contributed to improving the working conditions of women workers themselves. Over the last 20 years, KWWA has worked directly with unemployed workers, specially employed workers, irregularly and part-time employed workers, female heads of households, and working poor women, building a solid base for the women workers’ movement.
