The Regional Development Committee of the Korean National Council of Women (KNCW), chaired by Professor Po-Hi Park of Ewha Womans University, hosted a seminar titled "The Immediate Challenges of Disadvantaged Working Women and National Development." The event took place on November 29 and 30 at the House of the Word Retreat Center in Suwon. Attended by approximately 30 participants, the seminar focused on examining the realities of women's labor and the welfare of low-income female workers, unwed mothers, and prostitutes. Discussions centered on proposing measures to improve their well-being and calling for cooperation from the government and various organizations to address these pressing issues.
  • Archiving Note:
This article does not mention specific measures addressing the challenges faced by unwed mothers. However, the same event reported in the Kyunghyang Shinmun (December 3, 1975) under the headline "Korean National Council of Women (KNCW) 'Disadvantaged Women' Seminar" provides a more detailed discussion. It specifically addresses the realities of unwed mothers relinquishing parental rights and highlights strategies aimed at preventing unwed motherhood.
