Capacity Building

Launched in 2020, Korea Future’s capacity building programme for North Korean refugees has equipped individuals and organisations with the knowledge and tools to document human rights violations, preserve evidence, and advocate for accountability.

Since 2021, we have worked alongside 178 exiled North Korean women and over 30 global experts to identify barriers to employment in human rights organisations, with our findings published in a report and launch event. We have engaged 160 exiled North Koreans through our workshops, fostering a community of informed advocates and survivors. To date, we have conducted four workshops specifically designed for exiled North Korean human rights investigators, strengthening their documentation and advocacy skills, and held four community consultations to gather diverse perspectives and foster collective solutions. In 2022, we supported a core group of emerging women leaders in the diaspora through a monthly series of human rights workshops, offering opportunities to develop leadership, organisational, and human rights skills.
