Issue 10. Anti-discrimination Act
1) Current status
22. Discussion has been made on the enactment of a comprehensive anti-discrimination
act until the 19th National Assembly; however, none of them were enacted due to the
opposition and social conflict with regards to their provisions on sexual orientation, etc. At
the current 20th National Assembly, no related legislation has been proposed yet. In addition,
while enactment of an anti-discrimination act was included in the Policy Tasks of the 18th
President, it is not included in the Policy Tasks of the 19th President. In this regard, the
NHRCK has been making efforts for the enactment of an anti-discrimination act.
