North Korea has long been known as a country with strict rules and discipline. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
There have been many restrictions in various areas of women's lives in the country. According to recent information, women are now able to learn to drive.
South Korean media and observers have reported that some driving schools have started accepting girls for training based on the recommendation of the North Korean Socialist Women's Union. This is seen as a sign of gradual reforms in the social life of the country.
Until now, while women were allowed to know the traffic rules, their ability to drive a car was strictly prohibited. So far, officials have not made any official statement regarding issuing driver's licenses or recognizing women as full drivers.
This change is not the first movement towards the liberation of women's rights in North Korea. Previously, after Kim Jong Un came to power, the ban on women riding bicycles was lifted.
This ban was related to the belief that women's skirts fluttering in the wind were considered "inappropriate appearance." Currently, observers are evaluating such news as a sign that social changes have begun in the country.
This process is considered an important step towards expanding women's rights and opportunities in North Korea.
