A group of South Korean nurses were
coerced into wearing hot-pants and tube-tops and "sexy dancing" at a hospital talent show:
"The incident was initially exposed in a KakaoTalk open chat room hosted by the civic organization Gabjil 119 since Nov. 1, when a nurse expressed her discomfort with having to wear explicit clothing for the event. More than 100 nurses from the institute joined the chat room to write their complaints and receive legal advice from the organization’s lawyers and labor union experts.
Some nurses, however, are skeptical of the effectiveness of the investigation. 'What’s the point of the investigation when all the supervisors are going to be monitoring us?' wrote one nurse in the open chat room on KakaoTalk. She added, 'I heard the person carrying out the investigation from the ministry is a friend of the hospital.'
Many employees suggest taking stronger measures by creating their own labor union to fight the institute."
Sexism is global, and
the reckoning against sexism should be as well.
