On March 8, President Yoon Suk-yeol marked International Women's Day by reaffirming his commitment to advancing gender equality in South Korea. He emphasized the importance of this day as particularly significant, being the first since his impeachment, and stated his intention to fulfill his responsibilities in making South Korea a society fully committed to gender equality. Yoon's remarks are a response to the previous administration's decision to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, which he argues has led to a regression in gender equality policies in the country.

In his statement, President Yoon pointed out the challenges faced during the previous administration, which he claims led to a period where gender equality initiatives were diminished. He vowed to reverse this trend, restore previous gender equality policies, and address the gaps left by former policies. His agenda includes creating an environment where differences do not lead to discrimination and ensuring that all citizens can live safely and with dignity in the community.

Furthermore, Yoon expressed his hope that the results of gender equality efforts will benefit all citizens of South Korea, transcending gender, generations, and social hierarchies. This declaration not only reflects a commitment to gender issues but also signals a broader vision for a more inclusive and equitable society moving forward, demonstrating the advocacy for gender parity within the national discourse on social progress.
