The world needs to know a story like Yeomni's one. What it means to grow in a dictatorship like Noth Korea, to be trafficked as the only way to escape, be sold as a bride at the age if 13, to cross a desert in Mongolia to finally reach freedom in South Korea. Yeomi explains her journey to discover what democracy means, having rights and freedoms, discovering education and finding her voice as a witness and activist. Shocking the West has very little knowledge or awareness about how serious the situation in North Korea is. Thanks Yeomni for sharing your story
