Over the past 10-odd years, many women have led an honourable life amid the loving care and respect of the country and the people.

Dozens of women have been awarded the Order of Kim Il Sung, Order of Kim Jong Il, Kim Il Sung Prize and Kim Jong Il Prize and over 80 women received the title of Hero.

Moreover, many women became deputies dealing with state affairs, thousands of women were honoured as meritorious persons of socialist patriotism, more than 400 gained doctorates and over 600 working women won honorary titles.

Since the Communist Mother Honour Prize was instituted in December 2023, more than 40 women have been awarded the prize.

Han Kum Suk, a worker of the Chollima Steel Complex who was awarded the Communist Mother Honour Prize at the Fifth National Conference of Mothers, said that she became a communist mother known to the whole country though she had only brought up many children and made them join the army to defend the country, adding that was the result of the warm love of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who gives the highest honour to the women who are trying to fulfil their duties before society and families.

The revolutionary enthusiasm of women to contribute to the prosperity of the country is growing stronger amid the brisk socialist patriotic movement.

In 2024, more than 89 000 women’s union officials and members across the country volunteered to work in various fields of socialist construction. This year, many women in Kanggye City and other parts of the country have turned out in the drive for greeting the Ninth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea with brilliant labour achievements.
