These Photos Taken in Secret Were Never Meant to Make it Out of North Korea

The scarcity of wheelchairs in North Korea might stem from financial constraints rather than indifference. It’s essential to hope for and facilitate increased support for disabled individuals in the country, prioritizing their well-being and integration.
