*** PYONGYANG'S RHETORIC

Editorial Released by Rodong Sinmun on the 61st Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Historic Law on Sex Equality (KCNA/ July 30, 2007)

All the women should fully display the revolutionary stamina of the (North) Korean women who have grown under the guidance of President Kim Il-sung and leader Kim Jong-il in the current worthy general march to build a great prosperous powerful nation, holding aloft the banner of Songun (military-first).

   With the promulgation of this law, the (North) Korean women were completely freed from all feudal fetters, political non-rights and social shackles and became able to fully play their role as masters of the country in all fields of the revolution and construction, political, economic, cultural, etc. with equal rights with men.

   There are so many countries and so many women in the world. However, in no other country one can find such law on sex equality as that drafted and promulgated by the President and there are no such blessed women as the (North) Korean women who enjoy a worthy life, regarded as the flowers of the society, the
collective and the country.

   The (North) Korean women's movement with a proud history and tradition has greeted a new historical turn in its development under the tested leadership of Kim Jong-il.

   They have felt in the depth of their hearts that their leaders, the Worker's Party of (North) Korea and the DPRK's system are the best through their experiences and have devoted their all to the struggle for the Party and the leader, the country and the people.

   The (North) Korean people will always remember the self-sacrificing efforts of the (North) Korean women who rendered brilliant services in the struggle to defend
socialism and build a great prosperous powerful nation, firmly believing only in Kim Jong-il in so difficult period of the "Arduous March".

   It is a great pride of the WPK and the people to have a large unit of women revolutionaries, who remain sturdy props for the Party and the country, emitting fragrance as flowers of the country, the society and life through centuries.
