Recent North Korean diaspora has given rise to many female refugee
groups fighting for the protection of women’s rights. Presenting
in-depth accounts of North Korean women defectors living in the UK,
this book examines how their harrowing experiences have become an
impetus for their activism. The author also reveals how their
utopian dream of a better future for fellow North Korean women is
vital in their activism. Unique in its focus on the intersections
between gender, politics, activism and mobility, Lim's illuminating
work will inform debates on activism and human rights
internationally.
