[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 8th, President Moon Jae-in presented roses to all female employees at the Blue House in celebration of 'International Women's Day.'

On this day, President Moon gifted a rose and macarons to all female employees at the Blue House with a message saying, "Congratulations on International Women's Day, and we support you."

Before the Cabinet meeting that day, he also personally handed a rose to Nurse Officer Kim Hyun-ji, who was responsible for measuring the participants' temperatures.

Through social networking services (SNS) on the same day, President Moon sent a message commemorating International Women's Day, stating, "When society becomes more gender-equal, both women and men will be able to face a sustainable tomorrow."

President Moon introduced the government's efforts, saying, "Our government has fully revised the ‘Career Discontinuity Women Act’ to not only support reemployment for women with career breaks but also to prevent career discontinuity among employed women. We enacted the ‘Stalking Punishment Act’ and strengthened punishments for digital sex crimes, firmly establishing a response system against gender-based violence."

He added, "Compared to the level of national development, our country is significantly behind in the field of gender equality. Although there has been considerable progress under our government, it is true that much remains to be done."

President Moon said, "The glass ceiling for women is solid, and structures and cultures that hinder gender equality remain in many places. I hope the next government will continue to make progress. Women must be happy for men to be happy as well."
