July 14

North Korean Defectors' Day in South Korea recognizes the courage of individuals who escaped from North Korea and resettled in the South. Commemorated on July 14, events include government-sponsored ceremonies, support programs, and public seminars addressing resettlement challenges. The day highlights efforts to integrate defectors into society, provide humanitarian assistance, and raise awareness of human rights in North Korea. It serves both as a tribute to personal bravery and a call for ongoing support and solidarity.
