This girl wrote a book on torture on North korea..
This is Yeonmi Park - a human rights activist who fled Kim Jong Un's brutal land known as North Korea. She fights for people's freedom but this privilege came at the cost of her own.
ONE YOUNG WORLD SUMMIT
Park was 13 when she fled North Korea with her sister and mother. From watching her mother get raped in front of her own eyes to being sold as a sex slave to an older man, Park lived through it all.
In her new book 'The girl with seven Names', Park narrates the events as they happen, all the while allowing her reader a glimpse into her indomitable spirit that carried her forward to a life that she now lives.
When she was finally saved, she realised how she owned nothing - she worshipped a religion that was a regime; she loved the colour 'red' for it represented the regime; and she had no values because the regime taught her none
Now, a woman in her own right, Park travels the world and fights for people's freedom. Because of one girl's resilience and will to survive, a lot of people are being saved every day.
We should all be allowed to have our own identities. :(
