Opis

The divided families problem is a serious social issue in North and South Korea, involving hundreds of thousands of first-generation divided family members, most of whom have not seen their relatives since the Korean War. It is the most pressing humanitarian issue between the two Koreas and is connected to the greater issue of human rights in North Korea today.
