Coercive Religious Conversion Program dealt in the New York Times

Have you ever heard of Coercive Religious Conversion Program?
The word itself doesn't sound good. I think that's because it makes people feel so bad to do something coercive in this 21st century.

Coercive Religious Conversion Program is to convert someone's religion in coercive way.
Coercive Religious Conversion Program in Korea has made a sensation in the world recently.

At the beginning of 2018, a woman was dead during the Coercive Religious Conversion Program. Ironically, even though the press in Korea didn't report that sad and cruel accident at that time, it has been receiving a media spotlight from the overseas media nowadays with the first anniversary ahead.

Let us check why.
A woman in New York city conducted a fund-raising campaign thinking that many people should know this after reading this miserable news. People who fight against Coercive Religious Conversion Program in Korea also got to know this news. Finally, with the fund-raising money, they could post advertisement about this accident on The New York Times.

Various mass media including ABC6,CBS8 and Fox34 covered this advertisement.
The reason why many media has interest in the advertisement is that it didn't merely deal with some products, but it covered social issues I think.
This accident is getting attention due to the efforts of overseas media.

I hope you who read this also pay attention to this sad and miserable story.
Our small attention can improve human rights in the world
and our small but strong attention can save future victims from Coercive Religious Conversion Program.

The advertisement on the The New York Times and Facebook Page is attached below.
