Rodong Sinmun Urges Korean Women to Display Revolutionary Mettle

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Thursday dedicates an editorial to the March 8 International Women's Day, excerpts from which read:
    All the Korean women should highly display their high revolutionary spirit and unbreakable mettle in the current general march for opening up a great heyday of Songun Korea, closely united around Kim Jong Il.
    The Korean women's movement is a Juche-oriented movement which has recorded brilliant victories along a new path of its development under the guidance of the great leaders.
    The promulgation of the Law on Equality of the Sexes by President Kim Il Sung after the liberation was a historical event that brought about a fundamental turn in the position and role of the Korean women who had undergone all manner of misfortunes for long years, subjected to political non-rights and social fetters.
    The Korean women's movement has greeted a heyday in its development under the tested leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    Under the deep fatherly love of Kim Jong Il the Korean women are today living a happy life and giving full scope to their revolutionary mettle in building a great prosperous powerful nation. Among them there are unassuming patriots who dedicate their whole life faithfully to the education of the younger generation, reliable scientists who scale the high peak of modern science with painstaking pursuit and countless labor innovators who sweat faithfully at their work sites. They consider it greatest happiness to be wives of army officers and honored disabled soldiers and send their children to the posts of national defense after well bringing them up and faithfully uphold the ideas and leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea. This is noble manners that can be shown only by the Korean women.
    It is the highest pride of the WPK and people of the DPRK to have large units of woman revolutionaries who uphold the motherland with burning patriotic zeal, living in a noble and beautiful spiritual world.
