Situation
in North Korea from experts’ view
To remain in the luxurious life style,
Kim’s family uses North Korean people as slaves inside of their country and
export them as slaves. 80% of the escapees don’t obtain a high school diploma
and the majority of them are rural women. People in North Korea are suffering from famine
and high mortality (the mortality rate in North Korea is 19 times higher than in
South Korea). Additionally, the population mobility is very low due to the
government’s regulation on it. Only 5% of people migrated to other counties in
the past 5 years. Women are the most vulnerable group which suffers from
violence and their culture. For example, holding hands is a taboo in North
Korea, but rape is common.
- First escapee
She escaped North Korea in 2010 and is
living in South Korea. She dictated that they never had enough rice to eat at
the rural area of North Korea. Her younger sister was only 80 pounds when she
was attending high school. She couldn’t attend college because it was not affordable
for her family and the only thing they could do was crying with anger.
Afterwards she had to escape to China to support her family. Poison was carried
with her during the escaping journey. Escapees who only aim to earn money in
China could face 2 years jail time if they get caught. But they could face life
long prison punishment if they get caught by escaping to South Korea, USA etc.
Eventually she made her way to freedom and is attending university in South
Korea. She shared her appreciation of the well-designed resettlement policy
which helped her a lot to fit in the new environment. Before she was taught by the
North Korean government and believed that South Korea is a terrible country which
full of homeless people. But now she regards South Korea as the paradise where
she could have three meals a day, freedom of choice, and political freedom as
well.
- Second escapee:
She escaped in 2005 and is living in
USA currently. She is a woman who survived through hell: poverty, hunger, an
irresponsible husband, lost all her children, sold by human trafficker to a Chinese
farmer and transferred from one man to another, raped and beaten by North
Korean border guards…
