📢 Korea Future | 한미래 Releases Critical Paper on Forced Repatriation 📢 Forced #repatriation of #North #Korean citizens remains a grave human rights concern in 2024, including for women who represent some 70% of returnees. Korea Future's latest position paper uncovers the key interplays between: 👉 Arbitrary Detentions: Returnees face unlawful imprisonment for exercising fundamental freedoms 👉 Gender-Based Violence: Repatriated women endure specific abuse, including invasive searches and physical assault 👉 Systematic Repression: Detention is weaponized as a tool of control, violating international standards and thereby exposing detainees to further risks of harms Our paper outlines key #recommendations for the forthcoming HRC Resolution, aiming notably at urgently acting for measures to halt forced repatriation, protections for detainees, and accountability for perpetrators. Let’s continue to drive progressive #policy changes and demand survivor-centred and timely #justice interventions for the people of North Korea. 🔗 Read the full position paper https://lnkd.in/ehbfAHhQ

Through detailed submissions, targeted recommendations, and robust advocacy, we aimed to feed this important activity and reflect as accurately as possible the realities faced by victims and survivors so as to instigate meaningful #change. Our work continues as we closely follow the outcomes of this long-awaited process and keep #advocating for effective international action to ensure #accountability and #justice for #North #Koreans.

🌍 Celebrating International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women   Today, we stand in solidarity with survivors of gender harms and renew our commitment to ending #violence against #women and girls in all its forms.   At Korea Future | 한미래, we recognise the profound impact that violence has on survivors' mental and #psychosocial well-being. That's why we champion #gender-sensitive and #survivor-centred approaches in all our interventions.   Empowering survivors to reclaim their lives means prioritising their voices, their needs, and their #dignity.   In line with this commitment, we take this opportunity to share our recent guide on Mental and Psychosocial Health Services (#MHPSS), a practical tool designed to enhance support for survivors through tailored, inclusive and compassionate care.   🔗 Explore our guide here: https://lnkd.in/esdW7dp2
