My name is Ash Abraham. Before starting my journalism career, I taught English in South Korea. I was living outside of Seoul when Kim Jong-il died, and when Kim Jong-un assumed the dictatorship. At that time, it was unclear what would happen on the Korean Peninsula. There was hope that Kim Jong-un would not be as brutal as his father. Unfortunately, it soon became evident that the new Supreme Leader would fall in line with the previous dynasty of violence. I heard personal stories of Kim Jong-un\u2019s cruelty through women I met at the North Korean Women\u2019s Resettlement Centre known as the Hanawon<\/a>. So, I was so excited for an opportunity to return to South Korea years later to document North Korean women\u2019s stories as a journalist.<\/p>\n
