In October 2026, South Korean lawmaker Lee Ju-hee and various civic organizations proposed the ‘Intimate Partner Violence Punishment and Prevention Act.’ The legislation aims to shift legal focus toward monitoring perpetrators through electronic devices and court-requested temporary measures. It also seeks to expand restraining orders to include a victim’s family and to redefine violence to include ‘coercive control,’ such as economic manipulation and isolation. Following this proposal, the Minister of Gender Equality and Family, Won Min-kyung, expressed support for comprehensive legislation during a National Assembly audit. Discussions centered on bridging legal gaps between the Stalking Punishment Act and the Domestic Violence Punishment Act. Lawmakers also advocated for removing the ‘offense punishable against the victim's will’ clause to prevent perpetrators from undermining police protection by requesting that victims refrain from punishment. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-28: South Korean Minister supports new laws for intimate partner violence South Korean Gender Equality Minister Won Min-kyung supports new legislation to combat intimate partner violence and the abolition of laws that allow offenders to avoid punishment if victims withdraw complaints 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/south-korean-minister-supports-new-laws-for-intimate-partner-violence ### 2026-10-19: South Korean lawmaker proposes new law to monitor intimate partner violence perpetrators South Korean lawmaker Lee Ju-hee and civic groups are calling for new legislation to combat intimate partner violence by shifting focus toward active perpetrator monitoring and expanded legal protections. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/south-korean-lawmaker-proposes-new-law-to-monitor-intimate-partner-violence-perpetrators --- Cite as: South Korean legislative efforts against intimate partner暴力.
