This paper started from the question whether they have an equal status andawareness corresponding to their public participation and to fi gure out theirproblem and the origin of it. Apparently, North Korean women ha ve participated inpublic affairs under the legal and systemic suports based on e quality of bothgenders. However, they also had to take full responsibility in household work dueto the political system which is based on patriarchism. In addi tion, their socialstatus does not reflect the principle of equality of both gende rs since most of thewomen’s jobs are concentrated on low-waged and subordinate position. However, their actual problems expand to their lack of awarenes s about theirsurroundings that they face. It is witnessed in the interviews with the femaledefectors- North Korean women accept their realities of life wi thout discontent. The North Korean women had no critical sense toward double burden and gender, and such a status has not changed much even after the economic difficulties caused to change their life. This current situation of North Korean women is derived from the characteristics of the political system-patriarchical socialism- & the North Korea’s policy on women adhered actual discrimination causing women’s subordinate position & passive awareness.
