As International Women’s Day approaches, we celebrate the dedication, wisdom, and revolutionary spirit of Korean women who devote themselves to the prosperity of the nation. Throughout history, they have stood at the forefront of socialist construction, fulfilling their roles as both devoted mothers and exemplary workers, embodying the ideals of self-reliance and patriotism.
Under the guidance of the respected leadership, Korean women have demonstrated unmatched perseverance in every sphere of life. Their unwavering commitment to education, socialist economic development, and cultural advancement has greatly contributed to strengthening the country. Overcoming challenges with resilience and collectivist spirit, they continue to uphold the honor of the nation and pave the way for future generations.
Korean women play an indispensable role in building harmonious families that serve as the foundation of a strong socialist country. They raise future generations with a revolutionary spirit and deep love for the motherland, instilling in them the values of discipline, unity, and devotion. Beyond the home, they actively participate in social organizations, contributing to the well-being of their communities and the advancement of society through tireless efforts in labor, education, and national defense.
Korean women contribute to the advancement of science, medicine, agriculture, industry, and politics. From factory workers and engineers to doctors and scholars, they work with devotion to fulfill the great cause of national development. Under the socialist system, women have equal opportunities to play leading roles in workplaces, demonstrating their intellectual and creative capabilities. The leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea has ensured that women are empowered to participate fully in all aspects of economic and social life, making invaluable contributions to the prosperity of the country.
Korean women have enriched the cultural heritage of the nation through their artistic talents in literature, film, music, and traditional arts. Their creative works inspire revolutionary zeal, promote socialist values, and reflect the indomitable spirit of the people. From skilled fashion designers to accomplished musicians and writers, women uphold and develop the unique national culture, demonstrating their loyalty to the country and its great leadership. A popular song in the DPRK – “Women Are Flowers”, beautifully expresses the role of women in society. The lyrics highlight their importance in family life, happiness, and national development:
1. Women are flowers, the flowers of life
Diligently caring for their families, they bloom
Loving wives and kind sisters,
Without them, life would feel incomplete
Women are flowers, the flowers of life
2. Women are flowers, the flowers of happiness
Raising sons and daughters to be heroes, they shine
Devoted wives and dear sisters,
Without them, happiness would not be whole
Women are flowers, the flowers of happiness
3. Women are flowers, the flowers of the nation
Blooming on the glorious path they have walked
Dedicated wives and caring sisters,
Without them, the nation would be incomplete
Women are flowers, the flowers of the nation
This beloved song reflects the deep appreciation for women’s contributions to the nation, celebrating their unwavering devotion to family, work, and socialist ideals.
Honoring Their Contributions The achievements of Korean women stand as a testament to the strength and dignity of the socialist system. Their dedication to family, work, and the collective well-being embodies the noble spirit of self-sacrifice and patriotism. As we honor their contributions, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that women continue to play a central role in building a powerful socialist nation.
