Park Won-soon sexual harassment in the ruling, because the Human Rights Commission called it’sexual harassment’

“The Human Rights Commission decided that it was sexual harassment, not sexual harassment. It is different from sexual harassment.”
After the National Human Rights Commission recognized the words and actions of the late Mayor Park Won-soon as sexual harassment, some of the supporters of Mayor Park made such claims in online communities and social media. In fact, in the press release of the NHRCK, only the expression’sexual harassment’ appears and’sexual harassment’ is not specified.

Regarding this, an official from the Human Rights Commission explained, “Under the Human Rights Violation Act,’sexual harassment’ is a concept that includes sexual harassment, and sexual harassment is also recognized.” Although there was no word for sexual harassment in the data released by the NHRCK, it is explained that the words and actions of Mayor Park Jeon were judged as sexual harassment.

In general, sexual harassment refers to the act of humiliating or shaming the other person through sexual expressions, etc. Sexual harassment is subject to punishment in accordance with the Criminal Law and the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, including physical contact.

The NHRCK is in a position that it used the concept of sexual harassment instead of sexual harassment in the press release on the 25th in accordance with the’sexual harassment’ regulated by the National Human Rights Commission Act (Article 2, No. 3 d). The relevant article refers to’sexual harassment’ as “a person in a public institution, employer, or employee in a job, employment, or other relationship, uses the position, or makes them feel sexually humiliated or disgusted by sexual speech in relation to their work, etc., and does not comply with sexual speech or other requests. “It is an employment penalty for not doing so,” he wrote.

The Human Rights Commission explains that it uses the concept of’sexual harassment’ in the human rights violation instead of sexual harassment in its decision cases, policy data, and press releases, but the word’sexual harassment’ is found in the decision case containing the results of the investigation of the case of the Human Rights Commission in the past. On the 26th, 35 cases related to sexual harassment were searched on the website. In press releases and policy materials, sexual harassment and sexual harassment were mixed. An official from the Human Rights Commission replied, “I’ll check it out.”

Some point out that even though it was judged as sexual harassment in the internal discussions of the NHRCK, it was pointed out whether the word was used for sexual harassment under human rights violations instead of the expression of sexual harassment as a political decision.

An attorney working for a women’s organization presupposes that “it is necessary to confirm how it is contained in the decision,” but pointed out that “while acknowledging sexual harassment in real terms, it is inevitable that only writing sexual harassment in official data is a political expression.” He also pointed out, “There was a situation where the former mayor supporters misunderstood that the victim had no harassment.”

Attorney Kim Jae-ryun, an agent on the victim’s side, said, “Seoul City is responsible for the secondary damage, and in the press release, it is meaningful in that the Human Rights Commission acknowledged that inappropriate photos were sent through forensics on the victim’s cell phone, and physical contact with the office. “The Human Rights Commission did not use the explicit word for sexual harassment, but it contains information related to sexual harassment. I think it was judged in a wide range even though there are limitations, not an investigation agency.” However, he added, “There are people who complained about the victims’ grievances and related data, but it is a pity that the judgment was not properly received,” he added.

Earlier, Section 31 of the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Agreement (Presiding Judge Cho Sung-pil) mentioned the sexual harassment of Mayor Park in the sentence of a Seoul city employee who was charged with a semi-rape punishment on the 14th. The judge also stated that it was stated in the ruling that “It seems to be true that the victim suffered considerable mental suffering due to the sexual harassment of the late Mayor Park Won-soon.”

It is also controversial that the NHRCK proceeded without on-site press conferences or back briefings (informal press conferences) on the resolutions of all committees on socially sensitive cases. Among the reporters in charge of the NHRCK said, “When I started an ex officio investigation, I gathered and explained the results, but I don’t understand that the results were not explained.”, “At the time of sexual harassment in the culture and arts, we held a press conference. It was pointed out that it is necessary to explain whether the private ties of the market before the exposition had an effect.”

Meanwhile, Democratic Party lawmaker Nam In-soon, who became controversial by referring to the victim of the former mayor’s case as the victim, said through SNS on the day that “I accept the results of the investigation by the Human Rights Commission and deeply apologize to the victims.”
