AB - This qualitative research study aims to confirm human rights issues regarding female North Korean defectors living in China. The method of qualitative research for this study was to apply the thematic analysis method of Patton (2002). The research subjects were eight female North Korean defectors currently living in South Korea who lived in China for more than three years. The results of the topical analysis from those in-depth interviews are as follows: The human rights situations of female North Korean defectors living in China can be broadly divided into “Loss of Human Dignity” and “Threat in Daily Life.” “Loss of Human Dignity” can be sub-classified into “Human Trafficking,” “Crisis in Life” and “Abuse and Exploitation.” “Threat in Daily Life” can also be sub-classified into the sub-topics “Not Being Provided with Shelter,” “Not Being Guaranteed the Right to Health” and “Discrimination and Isolation.” It has been confirmed through this qualitative research that those female North Korean defectors living in China have experienced serious human rights violations, but domestic and international efforts regarding this issue are insufficient. Based on these results, it was concluded that there is a need to further raise the human rights issues of female North Korean defectors living in China.
