Unfurling a flag that calls for “a nation with anti-discrimination law,” Jang Ye Jung joins a growing chorus of advocacy that resonates far beyond her home country.
“Discrimination and hate do not affect just one vulnerable group or one isolated part of society… They affect all of us,” says Jang, who is Executive Committee Chair of the South Korean Coalition for Anti-Discrimination Legislation. “Politicians tend to address hate in a fragmented way, focusing only on particular issues when they see a political need to do it.”
