When Ji-hyun Park fled North Korea for China, she was forced into marriage, separated from her child and imprisoned in a labor camp. Today, she uses her story to raise awareness of human rights abuses back home.

In 1998, when North Korea was in the grip of a famine that eventually killed up to 1 million people, Ji-hyun Park¡¯s father told her to take her brother and run. Park, then 30, escaped to neighboring China, today the destination for many North Koreans fleeing the repressive, abusive regime back home. However, she became the victim of trafficking. Forced into marriage, she lived as little more than a slave, under the constant threat of being repatriated to North Korea.

The United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in the Democratic People¡¯s Republic of Korea estimated in 2014 that a large percentage of women and girls who enter China unaccompanied end up being trafficked for forced marriage or sex work. Those who are caught by Chinese police are often sent back to North Korea, where they face certain punishment – including torture and arbitrary detention in labor camps. Women have also reported being subjected to forced abortion, infanticide and rape. Even after their release, many can¡¯t find a way to survive in North Korea, so they return to China despite the risks.

Ji-hyun Park: In February 1998, I left North Korea for the first time because of the famine. My uncle died of starvation. My father was sick, but there was no medicine available at the hospital. He told me to leave the country with my brother. I left my father dying alone in a cold room, because those were his last wishes.

In China, the broker who was helping us said, ¡°If you want to save your brother you need money, and for money you have to marry a Chinese man.¡± At first I said, I can¡¯t marry a Chinese man. ¡°If you can¡¯t, we just repatriate you and your brother,¡± he said.

One day, five or six people came to look at me. Different ages get different prices – younger women in their 20s got 10,000 yuan ($1,500), but women in their 30s get 5,000–8,000 yuan ($800–1,200). At that time I was 30, so the price I got was not so high. I was sold for 5,000 Chinese yuan ($800). But I couldn¡¯t save my brother.

In 2004, I was arrested and repatriated to North Korea. My son was left in China. I spent six months in a North Korean labor camp, and my leg was hurt [due to gangrene]. The police said I couldn¡¯t survive with that leg, so they released me. I found myself homeless and helpless, begging on the street and seeking refuge at an orphanage for street children. A herbal doctor saw me on the street and started to secretly treat my leg and eventually the gangrene healed.

Many North Korean refugees live in the U.K. but have language problems, so I am helping with language courses and refugee issues. Myself, I am still learning about human rights. We didn¡¯t know anything about rights in North Korea. As I was a teacher in North Korea, my dream is to teach again. Last week, I enrolled on a teaching course. I¡¯ve found my freedom and happiness in the U.K.
