South Korea’s rapid transformation into one of the richest countries in the world, has left women trailing behind.
They are paid on average a third less than men, giving South Korea the worst gender pay gap of any rich country in the world.
Upon entering office, South Korea's new President Yoon Suk-yeol scrapped government gender quotas, declaring people would be hired on merit, not sex.
He is now trying to abolish the government's Gender Equality Ministry, which supports women and victims of sexual assault, claiming it is obsolete.
More than 800 organisations have come together to protest against the closure, arguing it could have a damaging impact on women's lives.
Warning: this contains distressing content and discusses sexual assault and attempted suicide.
