Among foreign wives who are married to Korean men and living in Korea, some of them are successfully settled down in community. However some are having problems with difficulties of communicating, maladjusting, domestic violence, naturalization, and alienation.
The result of research on the actual state of foreign wives in the Gwangju and Jeonnam area showed that central and local government as well as community would make constant effort to ensure human rights and provide welfare services for foreign wives in order to get acclimated to Korean society. We discussed that nationwide survey on the actual conditions of foreign wives must be conducted before setting up a system of protect and care for them. Educational program of Korean language and culture, and preventive and ex post facto measures of domestic violence were suggested. In addition, deregulation of simplified naturalization were proposed in order to secure the human rights of foreign wives.
