North Korean Defectors
North Korean defectors are individuals who escape from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, commonly known as North Korea. They often flee due to severe political oppression, human rights abuses, and economic hardships. Many defectors undertake dangerous journeys to reach neighboring countries, such as South Korea or China, where they seek safety and a better life.
Once they arrive in South Korea, defectors can receive support through various programs that help them adjust to their new environment. They may face challenges, including cultural differences and trauma from their experiences in North Korea. Despite these obstacles, many defectors strive to rebuild their lives and share their stories.
