#001 Adoption and Human Rights with Kyungeun Lee

from Korea Deconstructed · host David Tizzard

In this episode of Korea Deconstructed, Kyungeun Lee discusses how the Korean government allowed adoption to be operated as a private system until 2012, giving its newly-born children no state protections and denying them their human rights. This resulted in 200,000 young Korean children, often under the age of 1, being sent abroad. Truth, justice, and reconciliation are required, but is Korean society ready to do it?
