July 30 this year marked the 74th anniversary of the promulgation of the Law on Sex Equality.

President Kim Il Sung crystalized the role of women in a famous proposition that women are turning one of the two wheels of the revolution.

Defining it as one of the three major tasks of the technical revolution to free women from the heavy burden of housekeeping, he saw to it that such social policies for women as bringing up children at state expense were steadily enforced.

Under the loving care of Chairman Kim Jong Il, the climate of attaching importance to and respecting women was established more firmly in the DPRK.

Inspecting army units in the latter half of the 1990s, the Chairman placed great trust in the servicewomen and officers' wives as he called them armed women revolutionaries and cooks of the Supreme Headquarters.

True to the idea and intention of the President and the Chairman, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un wisely leads women to fully perform their duty as the flowers of the times for the prosperity of the country and the harmony and happiness of society and families.
