Women have been entrusted with responsibility for pregnancy, childbirth, and nurturing by means of socially imposed 'maternity' along with their physical characteristics. Abortion too involves the bodies of women, and women are the ones most affected by it. However, women do not yet have the right of self-determination over their bodies. In the "pro-choice versus pro-life" abortion debate in South Korea, women's self-determination is often treated with less significance than the alleged "respect for life." Moreover, as Korea's declining fertility rate has become a serious social problem, women's perspectives on the issue of abortion have been sidelined. Yet even in this context, there is a double standard between the treatment of disabled and able-bodied women. The purpose of this study is to examine the issue of self-determination, especially for women with disabilities, from the perspective of a capability approach. The following three recommendations are proposed: (a) that the various contextual variables of disabled women are included in the concept of self-determination; (b) that a solid relationship between individuals and communities is established in order to ensure the realization of the right of self-determination for disabled women; and (c) that the discourse of "reproduction rights" (i.e. comprehensive rights of women with disabilities) be expanded.

This study is focused on showing possibilities and limitations of the disabled men roles through the relationships with migrant women in korean novels, furthermore it is discovering the problems and the directions for successful cohabitation of the disabled men and migrant women in Korea. To accomplish this purpose of study, we analyzed and criticized 5 Korean novels which described the life of a disabled man with a migrant woman in Korean multicultural society. As a result, the disabled man in those relationships represented the man who was only true to his own desires or the man of the minority in social restraint due to disability and also those men can be classified as attackers or helpers for their migrant lovers. These formulaic expressions being problematic by themselves also facilitate making distorted images of the disabled men and migrant women.

어느덧 찬바람에 옷깃이 여미어진다. 아침 저녁 기온 차에 머플러는 필수품이 되었고, 점점 짧아지는 낮 길이는 마음마저 조급하게 만든다. 주변의 산들은 울긋불긋 아름다운 옷을 입고 높게만 보이는 하늘은 푸르지만, 자꾸 마음이 쓸쓸해지는 건 가을의 어쩔 수 없는 복병이 아닐까. 가을이 무르익은 10월의 중턱 한국건강관리협회가 국내를 넘어 세계 인류의 마음을 따스하게 보듬을 행사를 진행했다. 제2회 세계장애여성대회에 참여하여 장애여성을 대상으로 건강체험터를 운영한 것인데, 그 따뜻한 현장을 들여다보자.

The primary objectives of this research is to identify (1) demographic characteristics and job needs of women with disabilities in Korea and (2) factors that predicts the degrees of their job needs. This study uses the data based on interviews with 805 disabled women selected randomly from the registered disabled women in Seoul, Kuyngki-Do, Pusan, and Kuyngsangnam-Do. In the aspect of disabilities, this study showed that more than half of disabled women in our sample have very severe disabilities (1st degree and 2nd degree of disabilities) and needs others' help in their daily lives. In the demographic aspect, this study found that disabled women's education level is very low and their monthly income is also very low. This study also found that in spite of their disabilities and functional limitations, more than 3/4 of disabled women have needs about jobs. Finally, using logistic regression analysis, this study found that disabled women's type of disabilities, dependencies in daily life, age, job experiences, job training experiences, willingness for independence, and parental attitude about disabled women's future are statistically significant in predicting the degree of their job needs. This study will contribute to developing knowledge about disabled women's characteristics and provide practical implications for intervention strategies and assistance programs related to promoting their welfare.

It is said that there exist trouble factors of female-owned businesses and they disturb the growth of female-owned businesses. This paper, focusing on the balancing of work and family roles and discontinuance of career, examines whether trouble factors of female-owned businesses can explain the characteristics of female-owned businesses in Kwangju-Cheonnam region. The results show that these disturbing factors effect the accumulation of capitals for start-ups of femaleowned businesses and careers of female business owners, so that female-owned businesses enter disproportionately on service industry and their sizes are small. These support existing study results.
