Synopsis

From North Korean Refugee to the United Nations: A Courageous and Compassionate Memoir 
Soon-Young Yoon understood from an early age that people's destinies are connected to international events. This book is a collection of her reflections as a women's human rights advocate speaking up to end violence against women and change the world to ensure gender equality, sustainable development, and peace. 
Yoon has seen the struggle for human rights in all corners of the world, meeting with people in urban slums and the offices of the United Nations. She urges us to look at the world through women's eyes to understand why gender equality and women's empowerment, particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable populations, is essential to our collective good. 
In Citizen of the World, you'll be inspired by Yoon's stories on 
Ending violence against women and girls 
Finding the Earth's balance 
Claiming the right to social and economic development 
Portraits of great women leaders 
Collective voices that are changing the world 
Challenges working as a feminist anthropologist inside and outside the United Nations 
Written through the lens of an anthropologist, these essays reflect her belief that one needs to understand a wide range of issues to shape our common future. 
Students, academics, and activists in the fields of women's studies, international relations, anthropology, and social justice will find Citizen of the World both unique and eye-opening—and filled with hope for a better future for us all.
