Things I've learned from breast cancer journey in Philippines #7 "The worst time of my life was a turning point."

2024.07.01 Mon

My breast cancer was the most common sub-type of breast cancer, which is grown by female ho

「韓国女性学会40周年を振り返って」韓国女性学会40周年記念大会スピーチ　◆趙韓恵浄

2024.06.17 Mon

韓国女性学会40周年記念大会スピーチ「韓国女性学会40周年を振り返って」女性学会創立40周年を心ゆくまで祝ってみようと思います。揺り動かされている女性家族部の地位を考えると、力強く歩みを進めている女性学会は本当に頼もしいです。約40年前、冴えないネクタイ部隊(ホワイトカラー男性)と過ごすのがつらい時は、勤めていた大学の隣りにある女子大学のキャンパスに駆け込みました。社会学科のチョウ・ヒョン教授室を出入りしながら「もう一つの文化」(女性運動団体)を作り、そこでは女性学関連のニュースを誰よりも早く聞けました。政治的には非常に暗い時代でしたが、国家経済は大きく成長し、「息子・娘を差別せず、二人だけ産んでよく育てよう」という人口政策によって、娘たちが大量に大学に入学してくる時でした。彼女らが社会に出て、女性の声を上げ始めた時期でした。 1985年創立第1回学術発表会のテーマは「韓国女性学の普遍性と特殊性-宗教に現れた女性観」でした。宗教の家父長性に対する議論を始め、男女平等に

한국여성학회 40주년을 돌아보며　◆조한 혜정

2024.06.17 Mon

한국여성학회 40주년을 돌아보며 창립 40주년을 마음껏 축하해보려 합니다. 흔들리는 여성가족부의 위상을 생각하면 거뜬한 발걸음을 옮기고 있는 여성학회는 참으로 든든합니다 . 40여 년 전 칙칙한 넥타이 부대들과 지내는 것이 힘들 때면 이웃 여자대학교 캠퍼스로 달려가곤 했습니다. 사회학과 조형 교수실을 들락거리면서 를 만들었고 여성학 관련 소식을 누구보다 빨리 들을 수 있었습니다. 정치적으로 아주 암울한 시대였지만 국가 경제는 크게 성장하였고 “아들 딸 차별 말고 둘만 낳아 잘 키우자”라는 인구정책에 따라 딸들이 대거 대학에 입학하기 시작했습니다. 이들이 사회로 나가면서 여성들이 목소리를 내기 시작한 시점이었습니다. 1985년 창립 제1회 학술발표회의 주제는 이었습니다. 종교의 가부장성에 대한 논의를 시작으로 성평등에 대한 새로운 인식의 장이 열렸었지요. 명석하고 영민하

韩国版『照护的社会学』序◆上野千鶴子／译者后记◆曺升美

韩国版『照护的社会学』序文：上野千鹤子　东亚地区社会正在经历急速的少子高龄化这个社会议题。老年照护问题对每一个东亚的国家、社会而言，都是严峻的挑战。2000年，日本实施了长期照护保险法。本书是一本学术研究书，主旨在探讨照护保险实施后，高龄者照护的现场研究，以及支持研究的理论基础。关于老年福祉，北欧福祉先进国家和西欧国家及早开始建立了「福祉国家」。但是，到了80年代，福祉国家面临破产的事实也开始被讨论，「福祉多元社会」的概念也开始浮现。在这过程中，日本的长期照护保险制度虽被视为是借鉴了德国和英国的折衷方案，但实际上，称其为世界独一无二的制度亦不为过。　这本书并未对照护保险制度进行解说。因为对日本读者来说，这是人皆知的事。但是，对韩国读者来说，可能比较难以理解。然而，值得一提的是，2008年，韩国也拟定了以日本照护保险制度为范本的韩国版照护保险制度。尽管日本的照护保险制度无论在需求程度分级、使用费用上限、机构入住和居家访问护理选择、自付比率等方面可能稍微优渥些，但是说韩国的制度

弦子在法庭上的个人陈述

2024.06.11 Tue

2014年6月9日，我还是一个21岁的大三学生，第一次实习就是在央视的艺术人生节目组，在那个化妆室被朱军性骚扰的时候，我出于对性的耻辱，没能立刻反抗呼救，因为了解朱军的权力地位，也不敢让进入化妆室的工作人员知道我的遭遇，我相信这也是在高校、职场遭遇性骚扰的女性的普遍境遇。唯一的例外，反而是我遇到了愿意帮助的大学老师，在事发后的第二天，就在老师、室友、律师的陪同下前往派出所报警，无论是现实数据还是生活经验都告诉我们，在遭遇性骚扰或性侵后能够选择及时报警的女性，是少数。在2014年报警的时候，警察告诉我的父母，因为朱军的社会地位，我应该放弃报警，在2020年本案第一次开庭的时候，法院告诉我卷宗里的监控录像、笔录都无法调取，在2021年的判决书里，法院说当事人承担举证责任，而我提供的证据不足。今天是本案的二审开庭，也可能是我的最后一次开庭，我已经在法庭上反复陈述过事实，这一次，我想向法院提问：一个在封闭空间遭遇性骚扰的女性，她没能预料到性骚扰的发生，没有录音录

The morning after the surgery, my primary surgeon, Dr. Valencia, came to my hospital room to check on me and said,”Dr. Patdu, the oncologist, will be here this evening and you can discuss your future treatment with her." In Japan, the primary surgeon is generally also in charge of postoperative anticancer treatment. But in the Philippines, the surgeon is in charge of cancer surgery and the medical oncologist is in charge of anticancer treatment

I was admitted to the hospital the afternoon before my surgery. Manila was in the midst of a pandemic at the time (December 2021),but luckily, the number of coronavirus cases was relatively low and the hospital was quiet. However, PCR testing was mandatory for admission to the inpatient ward. My husband, who accompanied me to the hospital, was in the same room with me throughout my five-day stay, as he had to undergo another PCR test once he left

2024년 새해 축하 인사

2024.01.10 Wed

여러분, 새해 복 많이 받으세요. 올해 용의 해 새해가 밝았지만, 별로 달가운 마음이 들지 않습니다. 러시아의 우크라이나 침공 2년째에 더해 이스라엘의 가자 침공으로 정말로 가슴 아픈 사태가 계속되고 있습니다. 국제사회의 무력함을 뼈저리게 깨닫는 가운데, 우리가 대처할 방도를 찾지 못하는 사이에 무력감은 실로 커져가고 있습니다. 이러한 때에 WAN의 멤버가 평화의 메세지를 일본어, 영어, 독일어, 히브리어, 아랍어로 내어서, WAN은 세계의 사람들과 함께 평화를 호소할 수 있었습니다. 작년에 저는 75살 이상 후기고령자가 되었습니다. 작년 WAN의 총회가 열릴 때 저는 입원을 했었는데, 이사장 없이도 총회를 열 수 있다는 점을 실증한 점이 큰 성과입니다.(웃음) WAN도 이제 창립 후 15년째, 열 다섯 살이 되었습니다. 앞으로 WAN에서도 세대 교체가 필요하다고 절감하는 시기입니다.

Then Dr. Valencia, a surgeon, wearing a face shield that covered his entire face like an astronaut, showed up about 30 minutes late. (*In Manila at that time, face mask plus face shield
