Solidarity for LGBT Human Rights of Korea (Korean: 행동하는 성소수자 인권연대; SLRK) is an LGBT rights and counselling organization created on September 9, 1997 in Seoul, South Korea.[1] The current representative of the organization is Kwak Yi-kyong. Former representatives of the group were Jeong Yol and Chang Byongkeon.
The group was first created as a students' LGBT club named the University Students' LGBT Human Rights Association (Korean: 대학생동성애자인권연합; Hanja: 大學生同性愛者人權聯合; literally Union for University Students' Homosexual Rights),[1] which was later expanded to include comprehensive LGBT's human rights and counseling groups the next years.
On 1 March 2015, the Solidarity for LGBT Human Rights of Korea (Korean: 동성애자 인권연대; Hanja: 同性愛者人權連帶; RR: Dongseonaeja Ingwonyeondae; literally Solidarity for Homosexual Rights) reorganized to become the Solidarity for LGBT Human Rights of Korea (Korean: 행동하는 성소수자 인권연대; literally Active Solidarity for Sexual Minority Rights).
In 2013, the organization created the Yookwoodang Literary Award, given to Korean LGBT works of various genres, including poetry, fiction, and essays.[2] The award was named in honor of Yun Hyon-seok, a gay rights activist and poet who used the pen name "Yook Woo Dang".[3]
