This report discusses some of the main human rights issues in 2022. The report examines the issues related to basic human freedom, alienation and discrimination faced by social minorities, human rights violations occurring at workplaces, human rights topics important to the future society and the issues related to North Korean human rights, and also addressed human rights issues under disaster. Above all, the report tried to present the direction for our society by describing the improvement plans on each topic from the human rights perspective. Comprehensively describing and making appropriate assessments on human rights issues in Korea over a period of one year is a very difficult and careful task. However, in a rapidly changing society, it is an important and necessary task to publish a report that can inspect the individual human rights issues and comprehensively track the changing circumstances of human rights. I would like to thank all the people who helped in publishing this report. This is the second report, and I hope this report will contribute to protecting and improving human rights in our society. Human rights are the foundation that sustain our lives and society. The National Human Rights Commission of Korea will continue to strive in protecting the human rights value of our society. April 2023 Chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea Song, Doo-hwan
