'I escaped from North Korea'
Yeonmi Park was just 13 when she escaped North Korea by fleeing across a frozen river to China.
Now, age 22, she has written an autobiography called In Order to Live which she hopes will help people understand what life is really like for millions of people in the country.
In the book, she calls for the West to stop making jokes about Kim Jong-un and start listening to the testimonies about concentration camps, suffering and systematic violence.
She told the Victoria Derbyshire programme presenter Joanna Gosling, that as a child she lived in fear after being told she was being watched everywhere she went.
