입법의 성평등성 제고를 위한 성별영향분석평가의 활용

A principle of gender equality on the Constitution is an important guiding principle in the legislation. For gender mainstreaming in the legislation, we introduced a gender perspective, a gender impact assessment and a gender-responsive budget in the review of the legislation in the Ministry of Legislation(MOLEG) in Korea. Especially Gender Impact Assessment became compulsory to the related plan and business for gender equality and the legislation to promote establishment and revision by central administrative agencies and local governments through the legislation in 2011. These analysis and evaluation are important tools for realizing the legislation and the policy of gender equality while attempting to be made of policy formulation and enforcement. The legislation, unless in all three kinds of exemptions, is to be the subject of analysis and evaluation, and to be analyzed and evaluated whether the existence of the gender, the existence of gender stereotypes, and consideration of gender difference. The significant portion of unequalities of the legislation will be improved through these analysis and evaluation, which means that the anti-discriminatory legislation in advance as a pre-assessment that takes place before the examination of MOLEG. But this is only applied to government legislation and the newly revised and established legislation that has limits to the effective ways on the legislation of a gender equality, so its effectiveness should be improved by introduction of a Gender Impact Assessment on the legislation by Assembly Members or construction of legislation supporting system, a specific enforcement of Gender Impact Assessment on current legislation, the clarification of the guidelines, continuous education and promotion to the system.
