In recent years, Defense Forum Foundation's forums focused on how to win the war on terror, how to protect the United States’ homeland from terror attacks and how to bring democracy to those who hunger for it around the world. DFF President Suzanne Scholte continues to work as a leading advocate in the promotion of freedom and human rights for the people of North Korea and on self-determination in Western Sahara. In this capacity, DFF continues to work closely with the North Korean defectors living in South Korea as well as help and support the underground railroad which assists North Korean refugees to escape to freedom.
