During World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army recruited hundreds of thousands of young women and girls from East and Southeast Asia and turned them into sex slaves and referred to them as the "comfort women." Now, the Japanese government denies the history. What can be learned from this horrendous case that violated women's human rights? Suggested Book: Comfort Women by Yoshima Yoshiaki
