Liberty in North Korea at UVA

Club Description

Liberty in North Korea at UVa (LiNK at UVa) is UVa's chapter of the eponymous grassroots national organization based in Torrance, CA and Seoul, South Korea. Here at UVa, LiNK members seek to alleviate the human rights crisis in North Korea primarily through raising awareness and collecting donations that go toward rescuing and resettling North Korean refugees. LiNK focuses on empowering North Korean refugees themselves and helping them self-actualize and become change agents. In the past, LiNK at UVa has held film screenings, public protest/demonstrations modeled after Escape from Camp 14, and has hosted a local North Korean refugee to talk about his experiences and his resettlement in Charlottesville.
