Comfort women

During the conflict, tens of thousands of women - some say as many as 200,000 - from across Asia were sent to military brothels to service Japanese soldiers. Many of the victims, known as "comfort women", were Korean.
Many young girls were kidnapped by the Japanese authorities and were forced to serve as a " Comfort woman " (sexual slavery) of the Japanese military during the war. The ones who survived the Pacific War returned home after the war. In Korea today there are approximately one hundred survivors, and since 1992 about ten-plus elders have been living together at the " House of Sharing ". Although they have been demanding an official apology of the Japanese government by protesting in front of the Japanese embassy every Wednesday, Japanese officials have been ignoring such action.
