AB - In this article, we examined the victimization of the state violence against women among survivors and bereaved families of civilian massacres before and during the Korean War based on the victim-survivors’ testimony. And searched for the possibility of past purging and healing for victim-survivors. Some of the victim-survivors suffered damage such as torture of pregnant women, childbirth of camps, massacre of family members, survival of massacre sites, and sexual torture by the military and police. Even after the war, some victim-survivors had suffered from the state violence, such as police inspections, beatings and sexual violence for decades because they were “Red family members”. gender discrimination of patriarchy, or suffered domestic violence and sexual violence. In the 2000s, state agencies such as the Jeju 4･3 Committee and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission(Republic of Korea) conducted activities to purge the past. However, it is not the case the truth-finding about the suffering that women as victims, not the bereaved families, and the reparation or compensation have been carried out properly. In order to purge the past of Gender-based Violence by the State in Korean society, first, it should be specified as a task of truth-finding in past settlement laws such as the Act on Settling Past History for Truth and Reconciliation. Second, it is necessary to form an exclusive investigation team within a state agency such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and create an environment in which victim-survivors can testify. Third, for this, solidarity between women's organizations and human rights organizations is needed.
