Korea weighs citizen-led rules on online gender hate

The South Korean government is exploring the creation of a citizen-led body to define and address online gender-based hate speech, according to reports. The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family is reviewing measures that would involve a citizen committee in shaping policies on hate speech and encouraging platform self-regulation. The initiative stems from a 150-member committee focused on youth gender issues, which has developed 20 policy recommendations, including addressing online gender-based hate. Officials indicate these proposals will influence future gender equality policies. The push follows rising concerns about gender hostility, with surveys showing most young Koreans perceive significant gender conflict, though there is disagreement on its causes.
