With regard to female migrants
62.
The Korean Government should mitigate the requirements to apply for
naturalization for the victims of domestic violence. Migrant women who have a child with
Korean men should be entitled to residency rights regardless of their marriage status.
63.
The Government should create systematic arrangements to provide foreign spouses
with Korean-language training and cultural integration programmes upon their arrival in
the Republic of Korea. The Government should provide health-related information to
foreign wives in a language they understand.
64.
In the case of domestic violence, the Government should provide a legal system to
protect the foreign spouse. Foreign victims must have access to adequate interpretation
facilities in police stations and the courts. The Korean Government must expand
translation services through the Women’s Emergency Hotline.
65.
The Government must regulate marriage agencies and brokers. Victims of
international marriage agencies and private marriage brokers must be registered classified
after a screening process to be victims of human trafficking.
With regard to migrant children
66.
As foreseen in the CRC, the best interests of the child should govern all regulations
or decisions taken to govern their status. In particular, all efforts should be made to allow
them to enjoy all their human rights notably with regard to access to education and health
services.
