This moment, this platform: North Korean human rights at Harvard University and beyond

Before I defected from North Korea, I never dreamed of giving a speech at Harvard University, the top university in the world. When I was in North Korea, I thought Kim Il-sung University was the best in the world. I didn t know much about the rest of the world, and I couldn t even imagine giving a speech in English at a world-class university.

From awareness to action: advocating for North Korean human rights

Freedom Speakers International co-founder Casey Lartigue recently created an online petition calling on Western countries to open their doors to North Koreans who have escaped from China. His action reminded me that we can all do something to make a difference about the things we care about. He didn’t ask anyone for permission to do it, he just did it. It is an important lesson I have learned from him and FSI co-founder Lee Eun-koo as a volunteer with the FSI-Global High School Union (FSI-GHSU).
