Her Story (2015)

Standing Up for Unwed Mothers (4x8)

Air date: Oct 31, 2018

Kim Dokyung runs an organization supporting unwed mothers in South Korea, where mothers who are separated rather than widowed or divorced face discrimination. Dokyung provides dormitories sheltering unwed mothers who have been cast out by their families, removed from their jobs, or simply lack anywhere to go. To encourage understanding of unwed mothers, she holds speaking events called "human library." She seeks to create a society in which they can live without prejudice.
