On March 7, around 1,000 citizens met at the Gwanghwamun Square area in Jongno-gu, Seoul, wearing purple scarves and headbands, symbols of feminism, to celebrate the 41st Korean Women’s Congress. Their rallying cry was 'Complete the Light Revolution; Gender Equality is the Completion of Democracy,' emphasizing the need for gender equality to be embedded in policy and systems as a powerful force in restoring democracy. This event aimed to highlight the importance of gender equity in maintaining a democratic society.

The congress featured speeches that highlighted the values of equality and solidarity among women. Among the speakers was Choi Mal-ja, an 80-year-old woman who, after being wrongfully convicted for resisting a sexual assault, expressed her gratitude to activists fighting for women's rights. She emphasized the belief in continuous progress, stating, "the world is changing for the better, and it will keep improving day by day." Furthermore, Korea’s Minister of Gender Equality and Family, Won Min-kyung, stressed the connection between achieving gender equality and the success of democracy, reaffirming the government's commitment to advancing practical measures for gender equity.

In addition to the main events, over 50 booths operated by various organizations surrounded Gwanghwamun Square, engaging citizens in discussions about women's rights and gender-based violence. Notable initiatives included a petition for solving gender violence, and efforts by the Korean Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Human Rights Coalition to promote respect and solidarity towards LGBTQ+ individuals. The collective voice of the citizens underscored a yearning for a safe society for women and minorities, reflecting a broader societal push towards equality and justice across all groups.
