Human rights in South Korea are protected by the Constitution, which guarantees fundamental freedoms such as speech, assembly, and religion. The country has made significant progress in promoting human rights since the end of military rule in the late 20th century, with various laws and institutions established to safeguard these rights. However, challenges remain, including issues related to freedom of expression, treatment of migrant workers, and the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. The government and civil society continue to work towards addressing these concerns, striving to enhance the overall human rights landscape in South Korea.
