러시아·CIS국가, 몽골 출신 이주여성의 사회문화적 적응 및 인권 실태에 관한 질적 연구

The Korean society is very rapidly changing into a multi-cultural society. Nowadays, the number of migrants living in Korean society more 2.3 million(4.6% of the nation's population), and analysts say that it will be increased nearly 5.8% of the population by 2021. Moreover, marriage migrant women from Russia, CIS and Mongolia in South Korea accounted for 3.8% of total marriage migrants 4.6% involving female foreigners in March of 2019. So this study is so important to consider the lack of informations and research on Russian, CIS and Mongolian migrant women in the Republic of Korea. The study shows that recently women's migration from Russia, CIS and Mongolia also was increased. But our multi-cultural policy just focused on marriage migrant women from Asian countries, and it has been based on Korean patriarchy and assimilation ideology in Korea, even if migrant women were hoping to get their equal human rights as Korean citizens. So the researcher carried out the survey about the socio-cultural adaptation and the human rights situation as qualitative research, with in-depth interviews of migrant women from Russia, CIS and Mongolia plus their migrant women's rights experts. We should make the new framework of multi-cultural policy to assure their human rights, citizenship and gender equality.
