And released a statement titled’Secondary assault against victims of sexual violence should no longer exist.’ It is receiving a joint signature from Google Docs. On the 23rd, Professor Kim posted a letter written by the victim to Mayor Park on his Facebook page and exposed the victim’s real name. Suspected the victim’s agent for violating the Sexual Violence Punishment ActGot hit. Prof. Kim later turned the post to private and then apologized, saying, “I couldn’t hide my name, but there was no intention at all.” However,’second damage’ is a reality, such as real-name letters floating around on the Internet and SNS. In a statement, the students criticized Professor Kim’s letter disclosure under the premise of false’victimism’ that’sexual violence cannot occur in intimate relationships’. Students said, “Isn’t the purpose of revealing the letter’that sexual violence is not established in an intimate relationship’.’ The act of putting it on top of itself is another form of secondary abuse.” Also, the students said, “In the professor’s class, we learned about’politics for humans’. “I think what we need to seek now is not’one person’s honor’, and what we need to do right now is to discuss the right path for the community to go.” Then he said to Professor Kim, “It is not proved that he was not a victim because he wrote a letter. Rather, sexual violence is more likely to occur in close relationships. He asked for a stop to the regulation of victimhood and secondary abuse intended to be’letter disclosure’.” After the victim’s letter was released, some supporters of Mayor Park continued to’second offense’. On the 26th, the eight people who worked at the election campaign camp of the mayor of Park, including former Seoul media secretary Lee Dae-ho,Of those who supported Park Won-soon and opposed the second victim Entrance door‘And is receiving a sign of support. The following is the full text of Kyunghee University students’ names
professor! Secondary harassment to victims of sexual violence should no longer occur.> Professor! The posting of the contents of the letter itself is an act of determining’victimity’. On the 23rd, the professor posted a meaningful word on his personal SNS on the 23rd, with the title of’Mayor Won-soon Park’s handwritten letter’ with the victim’s real name and the contents of the letter, saying, “I look forward to your judgment.” Recognizing that it was a technical mistake for the disclosure of the victim’s real name, he apologized, and the gap and contradiction between the victim’s’will to avoid sexual harassment for four years’ and’Park Won-soon’s heart to write a letter to former mayor of Seoul’ is not understood. He emphasized the intention of posting the contents of the letter again, saying that he wanted to seek judgment. I am curious about the case of former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon’s power-type sexual violence, as to what kind of citizens’ expectations and what kind of judgment the professor released the letter. Wasn’t the purpose of the letter public to say,’Because it is an intimate relationship, sexual violence cannot be established’? Another form of secondary offense itself is the act of putting the victim on the basis of evaluation, not’the fact of sexual violence’ just because what you see in the letter written by the victim was an intimate relationship with former Mayor Park Won-soon. Not only revealing the real name, but intentionally posting the contents of the letter itself is an act of harming the victim. professor! Even in intimate relationships, sexual violence can occur. There is no’victim and fact of damage’ in the professor’s apology. Professor Won-soon Park, the former mayor of Seoul City, has intentionally posted the contents of the letter to prevent his honor from being lost because he has made’extraordinary efforts for women’s rights.’ The contents are also written in the apology that the professor himself wrote. However, as everyone knows, sexual violence generally results from an unbalanced power relationship between the perpetrator and the victim, and 80% of sexual violence damage comes from people you know, such as neighbors, family members, friends, and colleagues. Since writing an intimate letter does not mean that the victim is not a victim, posting the contents of the professor’s letter is a rule of perfect victimness, contrary to the assertion that the professor’s apology is written, “It is not determined that the victim is a victim”. In the past few years, we have faced numerous cases of sexual violence in power in society. Victims were constantly forced to rise to the’standard of evaluation’, and each time they were forced to prove themselves as victims. A letter released by the professor along with the words of’seeking the judgment of the citizens’ created such a situation again. How long do victims of sexual violence in this society have to prove themselves victims? In the past few years, we have all witnessed sexual violence damage caused by power and hierarchy in communities. However, the victims were still asked to prove their’victims’, with discussions within the community disappearing, and the perpetrators have been responded by completely excluding them from the community. It is questionable whether this is truly the solution to solving the problem of sexual violence and preventing the recurring sexual violence damage. In your class, we learned about’politics for humans’. What we need to seek now is not’one person’s honor’, and I think what we need to do right now is to discuss the right path for the community to take. So I tell the professor. First, just because you wrote the letter does not prove that you are not the victim. Rather, sexual violence is more likely to occur within intimate relationships. In consideration of such facts, please stop the regulation of victimity and secondary abuse intended to be “letter disclosure”. Second, intimate relationships, especially within the supervisor and subordinates, are frequently exposed to sexual violence. All of us facing the power-type sexual violence incident in society must look back at the culture in the community, including the workplace. We ask you to join us on the way to create such a community.
