I am interested in combating health inequities by creating awareness around the factors that cause them, such as shedding light on the social determinants of health. I would also like to encourage readers to become knowledgable about upstream factors of disease so that we can shift away from a treatment-based healthcare system.
Proposed Topics Class Assignment
editI am considering editing the "Human Trafficking in North Korea" Wiki article. I am interested in this topic because I believe North Korea’s human rights violations are rarely talked about due to the fact that Kim Jong Un leads a very private, deceiving (and ruthless) dictatorship. I am especially curious about human trafficking because it is one of the more public human rights transgressions in North Korea that we know about, as women and girls are actively being transported out of the country for prostitution in China. I am also interested in researching whether their capabilities are greater in China as sex slaves or in North Korea as citizens.
