have to do this because

this is not I'm speaking this the

people who wants to tell the world

but they must

say

North Korea is an unimaginable country

There is only one channel TV

There is a law in China

We aren't afraid to sing say will or think what you want

North Korea is only country in the world, but execute two people for making all motorists international phone calls

North Koreans are being terrorized today

when I was growing up in North Korea,

I Never saw anything about love stories between men and women no books no songs no press

no movies about love stories

There is no Romeo and juliet every story was propaganda to prey on lashes

about the King dictators

I Was born in 1993 and I was abducted at birth

Even before I knew the world

freedom or human rights

North Koreans are desperately seeking and time for freedom at this moment

when I was nine years old

I saw my friend's mother publicly executed her crime watching a Hollywood movie

Expressing talked about the quickness of the regime can get three generations of a family imprisoned or executed

When I was four years old, I was awarded by my mother not to even whisper

Toppers and mice couldn't hear me

I admit it: I thought the North Korean dictator could read my mind.

My father died in China after we escaped, North Korea

I had to bury him, at 3 a.m in secret. I was 14 years old.

I couldn’t even cry. I was afraid to be sent back to North Korea.

The day I escaped North Korea, I saw my mother raped. The rapist was a Chinese broker.

He targeted me. I was 13 years old

There is a saying in North Korea

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

My mother allowed herself to be raped in order to protect me

North Korean refugees

about 300,000 are vulnerable in China.

70% of no screaming and teenagers Girls

are being victimised, sometimes sold for as little as $200

We walked across the Gobi desert

following a compass, when that stopped working

we followed stars to freedom.

I felt only the stars were with us.

Mongolia was our freedom moment

death or dignity

Armed with knives, we were prepared to kill ourselves

if we were going to be sent back to North Korea.

We wanted to live as humans.

People often ask me: How can we help North Koreans?

There are many ways

but I would like to mention three, for now.

One

educate yourself so you can raise awareness

about the human rights crisis in North Korea.

Two

help and support North Korean refugees who are trying to escape to freedom.

three

petition China to stop repatriation. We have to shed light on the darkest place in the world.

It isn’t just North Korean human rights

it's our rights that the North Korean dictators have violated for seven decades.

We need governments around the world to put more pressure on China, to stop repatriation.

In particular, Chinese delegates of One Young World can play a part by speaking out.

North Korea is indescribable

No humans deserve to be oppressed just because of their birthplace.

We need to focus less on the regime and more on the people who are being forgotten.

One Young world

we are the ones who will make them visible.

Fellow delegates

please join me as we make this a global movement to free North Koreans.

When I was crossing the Gobi desert,

scared of dying,

I thought nobody in this world cared.

It seemed that only the stars were with me

But you have listened to my story. You have cared, thank you very much.

We're not Gonna go to the floor today
