In 2023, Attorney Yewon Kim was honored with the Public Interest Lawyer Award by the Korean Bar Association. This prestigious award is given to only one individual or organization each year in recognition of exceptional contributions to human rights and the public good. Since beginning her legal career in 2012, Attorney Kim has devoted herself exclusively to public interest work—offering free legal representation to victims of abuse, discrimination, and violence, particularly those with disabilities. The award highlights her unwavering commitment to justice and social service.
