A men¡¯s organization has decided to hand in a petition that calls for repealing the anti-prostitution law, to the National Human Rights Commission. The Korea Men¡¯s Association (KMA), an organization aiming for the protection of men¡¯s rights and the abolition of sexual discrimination against men, has decided to submit a petition to the human rights commission on Nov. 1.
On Thursday, ¡°The law banning prostitution was established by feminists with animosity toward men,¡± said Lee Kyung-su, the chief of the organization, asserting, ¡°The law made to tie up and crackdown on men should be repealed.¡±
He said, ¡°We are not related to pimps or prostitutes and do not support prostitution,¡± adding, ¡°The problem is that this law regards every man in this country as a latent criminal and discriminates against men.¡±
¡°Only after a month of enforcing the law, approximately 2,300 men have become lawbreakers. It is noteworthy that most of them are in their thirties and forties who constitute the foundation of this country.¡±
Along with the submission of the petition, this organization decided to legally take action against this law by selecting a lawyer to stop the law, stirring expectation that a dispute with the sides supporting this law will soon occur.
