Our comprehensive Human Rights Report underscores the lifelong trauma and suffering experienced by North Korean women due to forced repatriation. Focusing on the psychological shock endured by these victims, we emphasize the urgent need to halt forced repatriation – the root cause of these gross human rights violations. Through our longstanding project "I Want to Hold My Child", we highlight the heartbreaking experiences of North Korean mothers forcibly separated from their children, and advocate for their rights.

Trauma and Forced Separation

The forced repatriation policy leaves North Korean defectors living with lifelong trauma, which is exacerbated by forced separation from their children. Our report emphasizes the deep psychological distress and enduring pain these mothers endure.
