Above all, I know the new thing. In the past, our subway system has the area of only women. Even though I heard that this fact, I searched for this thing. This regulation was implemented in 1992. I didn’t know exactly reason, this rule went out of force because of low participation. I just experienced this thing one time when I was in Manila of the Philippines. I found the some card on the platform, when I was in the train. I was surprised somewhat. I didn’t know that this regulation was implemented at that time. So I asked phillipino friend about area of only women. She told me that this rule is still implemented if someone breaks the rule. Someone is scolded by the guard. Also, I know that some countries implement this rule.
Then, what is the advantages and disadvantages of this regulation. I think that It will be help to decreasing sexual harassment. Of cause, I am male student so I’ve never been experience sexual harassment. On the other hand, Now a days, we can see the information of subway situation of arrival and departure on the screen. When I take a subway in rush our, I often run for taking subway. If I arrive the platform the area of women, I will not take the subway. If male experience this situation, they will be angry. Also Ministry of Gender Equality are suggesting are of only women in Korea.
I don’t experience that so I can’t choose agree & disagree. But after, it will be implement that, we can listen that from a lot of citizens.
