From Chains to Change: A Fight for Human Rights. | Ji Hyun Park | TEDxUFV
Ji Hyun Park shares her harrowing story of survival after escaping North Korea and falling victim to human trafficking. Now a committed human rights activist, she raises her voice for those who still remain silent. Her testimony is a powerful call to action against modern slavery and a reminder that freedom, once attained, becomes a responsibility. Activista norcoreana exiliada y residente en el Reino Unido. Ha escapado del régimen de Corea del Norte en dos ocasiones, tras sobrevivir a un matrimonio forzado, a la trata de personas y a su reclusión en campos de trabajos forzados. A lo largo de su vida ha enfrentado múltiples experiencias límite que han puesto en riesgo su vida, pero lejos de silenciarse, ha decidido alzar la voz. Hoy, Ji Hyun dedica su vida a dar visibilidad a las durísimas condiciones que sufren las mujeres norcoreanas y a denunciar los crímenes cometidos contra la población en su país de origen. Esta labor, que realiza a pesar de los riesgos personales que conlleva, ha sido reconocida internacionalmente. Es autora del libro The Hard Road Out, donde narra su historia de resistencia y esperanza. Su trabajo ha sido distinguido con premios como el NatWest Chairman’s Award (2018), el Amnesty Brave Award (2020), el The Times Hero Award (2021), y fue finalista del GG2 Leadership & Diversity Award en 2023.
