Ahn Hee-jung Sexual Assault Accusation 554-Day Record



“Reading this book is our justice.”

The 554-day legal battle is over, but nothing is over.

Survivor Kim Ji-eun says



This book contains the records of Kim Ji-eun, a worker who suffered sexual assault by her boss, and Kim Ji-eun, a victim survivor who finally decided to fight against that power and completed it.

She spent months organizing and submitting evidence necessary for the trial and repeatedly testifying. The truth, without anything to add or subtract, is here. Why was the first trial not guilty despite the gaps in evidence and credibility? Why was the trial to correct sexual assault by a boss so difficult? What made this violence possible in the first place and why must it be corrected? This book, which poses numerous questions and answers, is a testimony of the arduous fight to find justice in the midst of extreme injustice.

Kim Ji-eun said she decided to do Me Too to prevent the next victim. However, for a long time after that, she did not have a chance to speak to the world and had to hide amidst numerous false propaganda. I believe that the voice of this woman, who was trapped in power while devoting herself to the trial, being widely read and remembered is the way to stop the countless perpetrators and victims in power that still exist today, and it is justice.


Recommendation

Lee Soo-jung (Professor of Criminal Psychology)

A book that shows what it means to measure hierarchy or power. Sexual violence does not happen because of the victim.


Korea Sexual Violence Counseling Center

At the end of this fight, a society will begin in which violating others' human rights with power and status is not tolerated.


Korea Women's Association United

Kim Ji-eun has made sexual violence by power a social issue. She is a stepping stone to change.
