Furthermore, the expansion of U.S. military bases has displaced local farming communities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ongoing trauma of family separation:<\/strong>\u00a0Millions of Korean families remain divided by the Korean War, with opportunities for reunification dwindling as separated family members age. The ongoing division has a particular impact on women who have borne the brunt of the emotional, social, and economic burdens of separation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The report calls for a more comprehensive approach to human rights that prioritizes the needs and agency of the Korean people, and women in particular, and urges the two Koreas and the international community to take immediate action to address the gendered impacts of Korea\u2019s ongoing division and to work toward sustainable peace on the peninsula.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womencrossdmz.org\/report-womens-rights-under-the-division-system-in-korea\/?link_id=1&amp;can_id=031bbc5272d3924476a7f92ed2e5abc9&amp;source=email-read-our-new-report-on-womens-rights-under-the-division-system-upcoming-events&amp;email_referrer=&amp;email_subject=just-released-report-on-womens-rights-in-korea&amp;&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read the report here!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.womencrossdmz.org\/webinar-womens-rights-under-the-division-system-in-korea\/?link_id=2&amp;can_id=031bbc5272d3924476a7f92ed2e5abc9&amp;source=email-read-our-new-report-on-womens-rights-under-the-division-system-upcoming-events&amp;email_referrer=&amp;email_subject=just-released-report-on-womens-rights-in-korea&amp;&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Join our report launch webinar<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday, March 5, at 5pm PT \/ 8 pm ET (Thursday, March 6, at 10 am KST).
