| Title | The Comfort Women Issue and Finding the Truth |
|---|---|
1차 원고
During the Sino-Japanese War, Japanese soldiers massacred and raped the citizens of Nanjing in 1397. Considering the negative consequences, the Japanese government decided to establish "comfort stations" for its soldiers in Japanese occupied territory.
The "comfort women" who served at these stations were mostly abducted from Korea, the Philippines, China and Indonesia. The majority were Korean girls between the ages of 16 and 20, the total number drafted estimated at 200,000. Many were poor girls lured by false offers of jobs. As the Pacific War spread and demand increased, girls were violently kidnapped and forced to serve as sex slaves for the Japanese soldiers.
Upon losing the war, the Japanese government tried to hide the existence of the comfort women by killing or abandoning those who remained. Some managed to return home but suffered from disease and the contempt of society.
The comfort women issue came to the surface in 1991 through the testimony of Kim Hak-sun, a surviving victim. Later, 239 others living in Korea revealed that they were also victims. The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan was established to seek an apology and reparation from Japan and holds a demonstration at the Japanese Embassy every Wednesday.
Japan claims that the government was not involved in drafting the girls and can make no official apology or compensation. However, recent testimonies by Japanese soldiers and discovery of documentary evidence of the comfort stations has put pressure on Japan to take responsibility.
In 2015, Korea (under President Park Geun-hye) and Japan made a secret agreement to compensate the victims through a private organization. But the Korean public strongly protested against a "deal" rather than Japan's acknowledgement of its crimes and an apology. Korea's new President Moon Jae-in has told Japan that Koreans find the deal unacceptable and offered to reopen talks on the issue. As of June 2017, 38 Korean comfort women remain. The statue of a young girl memorializing the victims has been set up in many locations in Korea and overseas.

The "comfort women" who served at these stations were mostly abducted from Korea, the Philippines, China and Indonesia. The majority were Korean girls between the ages of 16 and 20, the total number drafted estimated at a theoretical maximum of 200,000. Many were poor girls lured by false offers of jobs.

The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan was established to seek an apology and reparation from Japan, and still holds a demonstration at the Japanese Embassy every Wednesday.
Japan claims that the imperial government was not involved in drafting the girls, as that was done by private contractors, and can make no official governmental apology or compensation. However, recent testimonies by Japanese soldiers and discovery of documentary evidence of the comfort stations has put pressure on Japan to take more responsibility.
In 2015, Korea (under President Park Geun-hye) and Japan made a secret agreement to compensate the victims through a private organization. But the Korean public strongly protested against this "deal" finally resolving the issue, rather than Japan's acknowledgement of its crimes and an apology. Korea's new President Moon Jae-in has told Japan that Koreans find the deal unacceptable and offered to reopen talks on the issue. As of June 2017, 38 Korean former comfort women remain alive. Statues of a young girl memorializing the victims has been set up in many locations in Korea and overseas.
