‘North Korea Freedom Week’ is co-organized by NGOs in South Korea as well as the international community to promote the freedom and human rights of North Korean people, which is held in the last week of April.
The events of North Korea Freedom Week focus on raising awareness on dire human rights situation that North Korean people face every day, and open to the public so that anyone can join.
The 18th North Korea Freedom Week is organized by the Honorary Chairman Suzanne Scholte of North Korea Freedom Coalition, and the representatives of North Korean defector NGOs and civil society leaders cooperate to form the Organizing Committee.
Taking on the theme of Open Minds... will be Bruce Klingner and Olivia Enos of the Heritage Foundation who will host two panel sessions: one with North Korean escapees explaining what led them to escape, what opened their minds to the outside world, and then a second session will feature North Korea defector NGO leaders who have been leading efforts to open more minds by getting information into North Korea. Please join us on April 28th, 2021 @ 5pm-7pm (EDT) for this virtual event!
