Yeonmi Park is a refugee from North Korea. She tells her story at the Young World’s Conference earlier this year. She talks about the human rights violations that persist in North Korea. \u00a0If you don’t know, North Korea is a nation ruled by a dictator, Iim Jong Un. He brainwashes and oppresses his people. As this poor, yet strong girl says, “North Korea is an unimaginable country.” She speaks about the great lengths that she traveled to gain her freedom. She also tells us that she carried a knife and she was willing to kill herself if she was forced to return to North Korea.<\/p>\n
Please spend the most important eight minutes of your year by watching this video. If you are anything like me, you cannot do so without weeping for this girl and the countless others still residing in this unimaginable country.<\/p>\n
