During a U.S. congressional hearing, a North Korean defector recounted being trafficked and subjected to sexual abuse while living in China. Her testimony highlighted the dangers facing North Korean women who lack legal status and protection, including forced marriage, prostitution, and exploitation. Human rights advocates urged Washington to pressure Beijing to stop treating defectors as illegal migrants and to protect victims from deportation. They also called for accountability, humanitarian assistance, and stronger international action against trafficking networks worldwide today.
