Abigail Disney and Gloria Steinem Trash North Korean Defector’s ‘Phony’ Warnings about Pro-Pyongyang Group

Abigail Disney and Gloria Steinem took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to slam a North Korean defector’s treatment of an activist group that has advocated the end of U.S. sanctions on North Korea while ignoring its human-rights abuses.

The Disney heiress and the feminist figure serve on the board of Women Cross DMZ, an activist group that in 2015 organized a march across the demilitarized zone into North Korea to hold conversations with women there. While Women Cross DMZ billed that initiative as a bid for peace and international understanding, critics alleged that they were only helping to ameliorate the regime’s international reputation.
