Kwon In-sook (also Kwŏn Insuk or Insook; born 1964) is a former South Korean labor organizer who inspired women in South Korea to form the Korean Women's Associations United (KWAU).[1] Kwon is the first woman to bring charges of sexual assault against the South Korean government.[2] She was also considered by historian Namhee Lee to be "an emblematic figure of South Korea in the 1980s; she embodied the passion, the ideals, and the conflicting aspirations of the 1980s democratization movement."[3] Kwon later became a feminist scholar in South Korea.[3]
