The Power of Freedom in Addressing the Divided Korean Family – Empowering the Voice of North Korean Defectors

Through their writings and public appearances, North Korean defectors are playing a growing role in the groundwork for re-establishing One Korea. Many work with South Korean civic groups such as Action for Korea United to spread information among the people in the North. Globally, through their often harrowing stories about the reality of life in North Korea, defectors put a human face on reports of humanitarian crises and human rights abuses. Their exposure to the power of freedom has become a driving impetus in the quest for reunification of the Korean family. This forum will feature the testimony of a young North Korean and explore how to more effectively support them.
