Description
An on-going protest has been held in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul for over 25 years. An estimated 200,000 women from across Asia were kidnapped or duped and forced into sex slavery for the Japanese military from the 1930s up to the end of World War II. Every Wednesday at noon, rain or shine, victim-survivors of systematic wartime rape and their supporters show up and join together to demand an apology from the Japanese government. The Wednesday Demonstrations is one of the longest on-going protests in the world.
The truth is that this most extreme and horrific crime against humanity would have been lost to history without these protests and other actions taken up by the victim-survivors themselves. The so-called “comfort women” say, “I am the living proof!” “No more victims like us!” They are determined to tell the world what happened to them, find their justice and hope to change the course of history. The survivors are now over 90 years old, ailing and in hospice care, yet they participate each week without fail.
What was it like for the women who lived through this horror? What about life afterwards? What motivated Japan to do this? Why wasn’t the truth known until relatively recently? Why does Japan continue to deny responsibility for this war crime?
