Redefining North Korea by focusing on the people, while rescuing and providing resettlement support to North Korean refugees and pursuing an end to the North Korea Crisis.

WHO WE ARE LiNK | Liberty in North Korea is the only full-time grassroots organization in North America devoted to the North Korean human rights and humanitarian crises. LiNK provides protection and aid to North Korean refugees hiding in China and, utilizing a modern-day underground railroad through Southeast Asia, rescues refugees and helps them to reach freedom. LiNK�s global grassroots movement seeks to raise awareness of these crises and provides a way for concerned citizens to take part in bringing about effective change to help the North Korean people. LiNK is also developing people-focused strategies that will have the potential to promote change inside North Korea for the long term. WHAT WE DO   REDEFINING NORTH KOREA The North Korea crisis is thought to be many things: polarizing, dauntingly complex, a political nightmare. Most of what we hear usually relates to the political and security issues. But we�re working to change the conversation on North Korea, to focus on the people instead, by bringing much needed attention to their stories. It starts with awareness. LiNK runs national tours, produces media, and hosts events that spread awareness about the North Korean people; their struggle as well as their hope. RESCUING AND PROVIDING RESETTLEMENT SUPPORT TO NORTH KOREAN REFUGEES LiNK rescues North Korean refugees through a modern-day underground railroad and runs a shelter in Southeast Asia. Through our shelter we provide resettlement assistance, as well as health, educational, and acculturation support  to escaped refugees. Once refugees resettle in a safe country, we continue to provide support as needed, including case management, scholarships, medical assistance, financial aid, tutoring, and mentoring services. PURSUING AN END TO THE CRISIS Although we cannot know the exact path through which the North Korean people will gain their freedom, we believe that pressure from those inside the country will be crucial for producing change.  LiNK is researching and developing long-term strategies that focus on the North Korean people and will empower them to create and accelerate this change.
