This paper briefly deals with the main issues of women's environmental health movements that emerged as one of the socially attentive issues in Korea from the middle of 1980s. This paper goes on to discuss the activities that the Korean Women's Environmental Network(hereafter 'KWEN') has undertaken, the changes the organization has gone through, as well as further challenges and concerns that KWEN confronts.
During mid-1980s, a broad consensus on the gravity of health problems incurring from environmental pollutions has been made in Korea. Moreover, continuing effects of hazardous chemicals on human health in everyday life, let alone environmental destructions caused by the Korean government's developmental policy drive in certain areas or pollutant spill incidents, have captured ordinary people's interests.
The environmental health movements led by women started in 1990s, mostly fueled by consumers' cooperative movements that originated from safe food movements.
Since then, women have diversified the areas and subjects of the environmental health movements.
In particular, 'Korean Women Links' brought about women's health issues in perspective of gender, focusing on women's body and their health rights.
Focusing on children's health rights, the 'Children's Health and Environment' under the umbrella of the 'Citizen's Movements for Environmental Justice' held campaigns against fast foods and fostered women activists.
KWEN for which I work has led to make researches on environmental health problems due to biological differences or life differences between male and female, and made them social agenda.
Since 2000, so-called 'third wave feminism movements' appeared among voluntary ecological movements groups organized by young women, which were not popular activism organizations. They include the 'Korean Blood Sisters' Solidarity' that has carried out contemporary menstrual product activism.
Next, I'd like to elaborate on the KWEN's environmental health movement.
We called for regulations on the use of phthalate in cosmetics and bans on the use of sodium benzoate that turns into carcinogenic benzene in vitamin C drinks. In another case, the KWEN embarked on the research into environmental links to breast cancer and held forums and campaigns on the issues.
The education programs to foster Environmental health coordinators have been under way for 3 consecutive years since 2005, contributing to revaluation of women's reproduction activities and creation of socially meaningful jobs for women in the area of environmental health.
In addition, we have suggested to reweave eco-friendly alternative lives by producing harmful chemical free cosmetics, toothpaste, soaps, etc. all of which are made of natural ingredient, and have held workshops related to these eco-friendly products. The present activities we're working on are assisting children with atopic dermatitis from low-income families.
Until now, the KWEN's environmental health movements have evolved on gender main-streaming. It is mostly because the organization has focused on environmental pollutions in the context of women's body, whose issues have been set aside in a man-dominating world. However, future movements on environmental health issues shall be extended to broader ones that integrate generations and areas, leading to an eco-friendly society where every woman enjoys good health. It goes without saying that these future movements shall incorporate differences in class, generations, regions, as well as in sex and gender. It is fair to say that environmental health movements, which focus on changes in daily life, achieved the desired ends. It is time to initiate activities that actually can result in social and political changes, specifically in terms of environmental policies.
