Our partners

Korea Future was founded with a mandate from North Korean survivors of human rights violations, meaning our choice of partners is crucial. Domestically, we collaborate with small, locally rooted human rights groups, particularly those led by survivors or members of the diaspora community. Although these groups are often less visible, they are essential beneficiaries and drivers of our work. Nationally, we collaborate with other organisations addressing specific issues related to the DPRK, ensuring that our efforts complement rather than duplicate existing work. Globally, we collaborate with a range of alliances and organisations implementing cross-movement strategies to address critical accountability, justice, and policy priorities, focusing on those that bring significant value to our mission.
