“Comfort Women” is the euphemistic term for 200,000 female sex slaves forcibly abducted and abused by the Japanese imperial armed forces throughout Southeast Asia before and during World War II. Confined and raped up to 50 times a day by Japanese soldiers, many of these women died during their ordeal. A gross violation of human and women’s rights, the “Comfort Women” issue is yet to be resolved. Join us to learn its history and what you can do to advocate for these victims.
