I’m Gen.E reading a book!

Seoul YWCA happily introduces you the ‘Open Salon Gen.E’ (Gen.E means Gender Equality) ‘Open Salon Gen.E’ has two types of sessions as below.

1) The book lecture ‘I’m Gen.E reading a book’

2) The Movie screening ‘I’m Gen.E watching a movie’

Having those sessions, Seoul YWCA tries to step forward to the society based on gender equality. We had Seo Hwa Kim who is the writer on 20^th, July. She is a feminist mom who has a son an elementary school student. She has published her book recently ‘Sexual conversation between elementary school student son and the feminist mom’

Most people put a question, “Isn’t it too early to teach him about the sex education?” It is pretty interesting that parents avoid or ignore this matter while they are trying too hard to teach other education their children at the very young age.

“Young children like 7 or 8 years old can access sex video easily these days, and you know if children watch this at their young age, they will have distorted gender sensibility. Please do not ignore sex education. The attitude is important to have a conversation with your children.”

She also emphasizes the gender issue of child-rearing.

“Our society always blames ‘Mom’ if there is any problem. It is obvious and acceptable that Dads cannot care for babies, but Mom has to be an expert. Do you think we live with equality?”

Sex is the part of life, not related to violation or sex. She kept pointing out ‘Early Sex education’ is important for our children. We all should make an effort to have a life based on gender equality.

Labeling GMO

Seoul YWCA staffs participated in a training session to learn more about GMO. “Genetically Engineered Foods”, “Genetically modified organisms,” or GMOs, are organisms that have been created through application of transgenic, gene-splicing techniques that are part of biotechnology. These transgenic methods for moving genes around are also called “genetic engineering,” or GE. This relatively new science allows DNA (genetic material) from one species to be transferred into another species, creating transgenic organisms with combinations of genes from plants, animals, bacteria, and even viral gene pools. The mixing of genes from different species that have never shared genes in the past is what makes GMOs and GE crops so unique. It is impossible to create such transgenic organisms through traditional crossbreeding methods. In South Korea, labeling GMO law is not enacted yet, so many citizens don't care about what GMO i...
