The purpose of this paper is to examine the intersection of disability and refugee identity, as experienced by North Koreans during their childhood and adolescence. A Critical Disability Studies theoretical framework is used to examine the interplay of social and embodied aspects of disability within the conditions faced by North Korean refugees across multiple borders and contexts. Data include interviews with two teachers and eight young adults and students about their childhood experiences before, during, and after their journey to relocate in South Korea. The findings illuminate the violence that North Korean refugee children and adolescents experience, as well as the structural, political, economic, and cultural conditions that shape North Korean refugee children’s access to rights, such as health care and education. Further, we highlight how identities, such as gender and ethnicity, affect the embodied experiences of North Korean refugee children.
