North Korea may be the enemy of freedom, but its 24 million people are the victims of that oppressive regime. Just to remind you of their quandary:
-No freedom of speech, movement, or religion.
-Chronic food shortages – 25% of children are malnourished.
-Most North Koreans lack access to basic health care.
Fortunately there are ways to get involved and organizations you can support. One such organization is Liberty in North Korea. They help educate people on the plight of North Koreans and rescue those who try to escape.
Here’s an excerpt from their website:
“Every year, thousands of North Koreans risk their lives to escape political and economic oppression.
Even if they make it to China, they face grave danger because the Chinese government arrests and forcibly repatriates North Korean refugees. If sent back, they undergo interrogation and are at risk of extremely harsh punishments including torture, forced labor, forced abortions, and internment in a political prison camp. Even if they manage to evade the authorities in China, their illegal status forces them to work in invisible industries and leaves them vulnerable to exploitation by sex traffickers and unscrupulous employers. In these dire circumstances, many North Korean refugees do not have the resources or connections to get themselves out of China. That’s where we come in.”
It costs LiNK and organizations like them about $3,000 to rescue someone. That’s all!
