Asian Center for Women's Studies & Korean Women's Institute Ewha Womans University Asian Center Women's Studies Korean Women's Instit 2000 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.6 No.2

The eight country-level workshops were held over a period of one year in 1999 and were attended by 350 women's studies practitioners from 220 universities and other research institutions in Asia. The workshops not only created strong motivation among women's studies practitioners in the countries to introduce women's studies courses, but also to develop it further in higher education. These meetings, therefore, have been instrumental in furthering the United Board's objectives of promoting women's studies and gender equality in the Asian region, as well as placing Ewha Womans University on the international map. The proceedings of the country workshops are summarized below.

Three papers were presented by Korean scholars at the conference. One of them was entitled "Study on the Housewives' Movement in Korea" by Hea-sook Ro, Jeong-sin Han, Kyung-ock Jun, Young-hee Kim, and Young-ran Kim, most of whom are professors at Sookmyoung Women's University. The other two papers are: "Towards a Common Understanding of Conceptual Frameworks" by Pil-wha Chang of Ewha Woman's University, Seoul and "General Situation of Korean Women's Participation in China" by Young-ae Ha of Kyung Hee University. Among the three, the paper presented by the Sookmyung research team deserves the most attention since it raised a more current issue with qualitative research and analysis. The aim of the study was to understand major characteristics of the Korean housewives' movement. Housewives' consciousness was analyzed in four dimensions: economic activities, social participation, political participation, and gender role. There was also a comparative analysis between the consciousness of housewives participating in groups or organizations and that of non-participants. The survey was made on a national scale and targeted nine regions: Seoul, Kyunggi Province, Chungcheong South and North Province, Junra South and North province, Kyungsang South and North province, and Kangwon Province. A total of 2151 housewives were selected as samples. The survey shows that the housewives who have experienced the political life within society by participating in social organizations seek political intervention more positively and actively. Likewise, housewives who have worked for organizations rate highly regarding women's organizational ability. Regarding the success of women at the workplace, housewives with experience show stronger responses and expectations in making an attempt to succeed in the society. The paper reaches a conclusion that housewives' organizational activities have a close relationship with their modern consciousness of society and gender roles. The survey also shows that housewives who voluntarily work for organizations find it difficult to balance their organizational activities and their duties to their children. It also points out that the percentage of professional housewives' share in housework is 84.7%, and their working hours are between 8 to 12 hours a day (1994). The value of this labor of housewives is 22.8% of GNP, and its reward, the presenters argued, should be reexamined. Above all, they assert a consciousness raising movement is urgent since 49.5% of married women are still considered to be professional housewives, and most housewives in Korea still hold the traditional consciousness of gender roles. The paper also argues that the ideology of the Housewives' Movement needs to be fully established and that cultivating housewives activists for the movement is urgent. Furthermore, centralized advertising and systematic and private planning in a superstructure are needed, and they should be expanded on a regional level. The paper adds that the structure of housewives is as complicated and various as the characteristics of housewives; therefore, various models which are suitable for each region and for each object should be created. In the end, it asserts, the unity and the solidarity of the Housewives' Movement organizations should be created on a national level.

기혼여성의 결혼생활 중요도인식과 결혼생활만족

유공순 청주대학교사회과학연구소 2008 한국사회과학연구 Vol.30 No.2

우리나라 기혼여성이 결혼생활에서 중요하게 여기는 복지욕구와 그 복지욕구가 실제의 결혼생활을 통해 충족되고 있는가를 알아보기 위해 청주를 비롯한 청주와 대전에 거주하는 기혼여성 431명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사대상자의 평균 나이는 43.3세였고 전업주부가 52.0%로 직장여성보다 약간 많았으며 조사 대상자의 남편이 전업주부의 역할을 하는 경우도 2.1%로 나타났다. 우리나라 기혼여성이 결혼생활에서 중요하게 여기는 결혼생활중요도는 경제력, 남편과의 대화, 자녀문제(양육 및 관계), 시댁식구와의 관계, 자신의 여가 및 문화생활, 남편과의 성관계 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 기혼여성의 복지욕구에 비해 전반적으로 결혼만족도는 낮게 나타나고 있는데 특히 경제력, 남편과의 대화, 자신만의 문화 및 여가생활 부분에서 중요도와 만족도의 차가 크게 나타나고 있다. 결혼생활의 불만족 이유로는 경제적 이유와 시댁식구와의 불화, 남편의 무관심 등을 들고 있으며, 이 중 이혼을 고려해 본 적이 있다는 사람이 60.8%였다. 대부분의 기혼여성이 결혼생활에 문제를 갖고 있었으나 가족문제나 결혼문제로 상담을 받은 경험은 거의 없었다. The purpose of this study was to investigate the welfare need of married women and examine how much their welfare needs fulfilled through their marriages. Four hundreds thirty one married women from Cheongju and Deajun were included in this study. According to the survey, the mean age of the participants was 43.3, 52.0% of them were housewives, and 2.1% of husbands were housekeeper. The result indicated that Korean married women importantly consider the conversation with husbands, the problem of children(parenting and relationship), the financial power, the relationship with the esteemed family of their husbands, their leisure and cultural lives, and the sexual relationship with their husbands in their marriages as their welfare needs. The marital satisfaction of participants was relatively lower than their welfare needs. Specifically, there were significant differences between the degree of importance and the degree of satisfaction on the financial power, the conversation with husbands, and their own leisure and cultural lives. The reasons of dissatisfaction with their marriages were the economical matter, the trouble with the esteemed family of their husbands, and the indifference of husbands. 39.2% of participants answered that they had never considered the divorce. Although most of the participants had problems on their marriage lives, only 5.8% of them experienced the professional counseling and 23% of them answered that they don't need the professional counseling. According to this result, the married women disregard the role of professional counseling centers. Therefore, the important role of professional counseling centers should be informed to the married women.

여성정책 거버넌스 유형에 대한 분석 : 여성부의 협력사업 사례

김은경 淑明女子大學校 亞細亞女性問題硏究所 2008 아시아여성연구 Vol.47 No.1

이 글은 여성단체와 여성부가 2001년부터 추진하고 있는 공동협력사업의 내용과 재정지원 규모 등의 내용을 통해 여성부와 여성단체의 관계를 거버넌스 관점에서 분석하고 그 특징을 밝히고자 하였다. 분석을 위해 과거 5년간(2001-2005년) 진행한 협력사업에 대해 단체가 사업의 내용에 얼마나 주체적으로 개입하였으며, 재정분담 측면에서 어느 정도 비율로 참여하는지를 살펴보았다. 여성부 협력사업은 외형적으로 사업내용 선정의 주체성과 재정부담에 있어서 여성부가 주도하고 있어 여성단체는 대리자 유형에 속하는 것으로 보이나, 여성단체가 사업내용의 결정에 크게 개입하고 있어 궁극적으로는 동반자 유형의 거버넌스 특징을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 여성정책을 수행하는데 있어서 여성정책 거버넌스가 갖는 매우 특징적인 현상이라 할 수 있다. 여성단체는 비록 재정적인 측면에서 자율성은 없으나, 사업내용에 있어서는 주체성을 가지고 있다는 의미이다. 이 같은 동반자형 거버넌스의 특징을 보이는 원인은 여성부와 여성단체의 관계, 정부부처 내 여성정책 전문인력의 부재 등 여성 정책기구의 위상과 밀접한 관련이 있다.

FIGO staging of endometrial cancer: 2023

Jonathan S. Berek,Xavier Matias-Guiu,Carien Creutzberg,Christina Fotopoulou,David Gaffney,Sean Kehoe,Kristina Lindemann,David Mutch,Nicole Concin,Endometrial Cancer Staging Subcommittee,FIGO Women's C 대한부인종양학회 2023 Journal of Gynecologic Oncology Vol.34 No.5

Introduction: Many advances in the understanding of the pathologic and molecular features of endometrial cancer have occurred since the FIGO staging was last updated in 2009. Substantially more outcome and biological behavior data are now available regarding the several histological types. Molecular and genetic findings have accelerated since the publication of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data and provide improved clarity on the diverse biological nature of this collection of endometrial cancers and their differing prognostic outcomes. The goals of the new staging system are to better define these prognostic groups and create substages that indicate more appropriate surgical, radiation, and systemic therapies. Methods: The FIGO Women's Cancer Committee appointed a Subcommittee on Endometrial Cancer Staging in October 2021, represented by the authors. Since then, the committee members have met frequently and reviewed new and established evidence on the treatment, prognosis, and survival of endometrial cancer. Based on these data, opportunities for improvements in the categorization and stratification of these factors were identified in each of the four stages. Data and analyses from the molecular and histological classifications performed and published in the recently developed ESGO/ESTRO/ESP guidelines were used as a template for adding the new subclassifications to the proposed molecular and histological staging system. Results: Based on the existing evidence, the substages were defined as follows: S tage I (IA1): non-aggressive histological type of endometrial carcinoma limited to a polyp or confined to the endometrium; (IA2) non-aggressive histological types of endometrium involving less than 50% of the myometrium with no or focal lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) as defined by WHO criteria; (IA3) low-grade endometrioid carcinomas limited to the uterus with simultaneous low-grade endometrioid ovarian involvement; (IB) non-aggressive histological types involving 50% or more of the myometrium with no LVSI or focal LVSI; (IC) aggressive histological types, i.e. serous, high-grade endometrioid, clear cell, carcinosarcomas, undifferentiated, mixed, and other unusual types without any myometrial invasion. S tage II (IIA): non-aggressive histological types that infiltrate the cervical stroma; (IIB) non-aggressive histological types that have substantial LVSI; or (IIC) aggressive histological types with any myometrial invasion. S tage III (IIIA): differentiating between adnexal versus uterine serosa infiltration; (IIIB) infiltration of vagina/parametria and pelvic peritoneal metastasis; and (IIIC) refinements for lymph node metastasis to pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes, including micrometastasis and macrometastasis. S tage IV (IVA): locally advanced disease infiltrating the bladder or rectal mucosa; (IVB) extrapelvic peritoneal metastasis; and (IVC) distant metastasis. The performance of complete molecular classification (POLEmut, MMRd, NSMP, p53abn) is encouraged in all endometrial cancers. If the molecular subtype is known, this is recorded in the FIGO stage by the addition of “m” for molecular classification, and a subscript indicating the specific molecular subtype. When molecular classification reveals p53abn or POLEmut status in Stages I and II, this results in upstaging or downstaging of the disease (IICmp53abn or IAmPOLEmut). Summary: The updated 2023 staging of endometrial cancer includes the various histological types, tumor patterns, and molecular classification to better reflect the improved understanding of the complex nature of the several types of endometrial carcinoma and their underlying biologic behavior. The changes incorporated in the 2023 staging system should provide a more evidence-based context for treatment recommendations and for the more refined future collection of outcome and survival data.
