Kim Ye-won is a one-person public-interest lawyer running the Disability Rights Law Center, who provides free representation to people with disabilities across criminal, administrative and civil cases. She handles heavy caseloads alone—recently supporting dozens of cases in months—and combines individual litigation with systemic projects such as producing legal support manuals for abuse victims, pushing for regulatory changes in disability sports, and campaigning for revisions to sexual protection laws for children and youth. Her record includes landmark successes: persuading the Supreme Court to recognize a prosthetic leg’s damage as an occupational injury, securing a law change to allow one-eyed applicants to take a class-1 driving test, and winning awards for human-rights advocacy.
