Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- July 30 is a significant day to the women in the DPRK. On the day in Juche 35 (1946), President Kim Il Sung promulgated "Law on Sex Equality in North Korea" which was drawn up by him to legally grant the women equal rights with men in all spheres of politics, economy and culture. Greeting this day, all the women in the country, those at the Pyongyang Kim Jong Suk Textile Mill in particular, are filled with high pride and honor of having led a worthwhile and happy life under the loving care of the peerlessly great persons. President Kim Il Sung appointed the site for the mill in October 1948 and visited it 48 times since then to develop the textile industry. Under his warm care, women workers, who had been subjected to humiliation and insult in the past, became labor innovators of the times. Chairman Kim Jong Il visited the mill on July 30 of 2009, the 63rd anniversary of the promulgation of the Law on Sex Equality. He met labor heroes, who had worked for many years at the mill, and labor innovators of the new generation to highly appreciate their patriotic devotion and give pep-talks to them. When visiting the mill in October 2013, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made a promise to its women weavers that he would take it upon himself to build a new hostel for them at the mill. In April 2014, he inspected the wonderfully-built hostel and suggested holding a grand banquet for workers at the hostel on May Day. Under such wise guidance and loving care of the peerlessly great men, the mill has over-fulfilled its yearly economic plan every year, producing a large number of women labor heroes and labor innovators including deputies to the Supreme People's Assembly. |
