Women's rights have been breached around the world since long before the great Kim Il Sung founded the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Many nations, such as the United States of America, have shown much gender inequality in the past. Many western nations have records of being severe and cruel towards women throughout the ages as they attempted to gain rights in their backward nations. Many nations continue this trend of discrimination toward women and are, to this day, preventing young girls from attaining the education they desire.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) finds it as ludicrous to debate the issue of girl's education as it would be to debate the existence of air. We, as a nation, are far ahead of many other states in our acceptance of the fact that women are equal to men. Our fair nation has had laws securing the rights of women, such as the Law on Sex Equality and the 1972 constitution stating "women hold equal social status and rights with men." It is the position of the DPRK that all girls occupying this planet should have the right to an education, equal to that of boys.
As economic and safety issues have been brought up as a cause for the gap between the education of girls and boys, in some countries, the DPRK expects to see these issues addressed swiftly. In a resolution containing the promise of funding for underdeveloped nations and extra protocols in schools to maintain the safety and comfort of girls, this committee should be able to quickly reach a decision and pass a resolution solving the problem for generations of girls to come.
