Global Action Day - Justice for "Comfort Women"
60th Anniversary of the End of World War II

Justice to the victims of the Japanese military sexual slavery!
Legal compensation by Japan to the survivors!

During the 2nd World War, crimes against humanity and war crimes drove the whole of Europe and Asia into indescribable human sufferings and atrocities. Today, six decades after the War, we see two contrasting cases of state accountability for the crimes committed during the War. Germany has consistently prosecuted wartime criminals and compensated the wartime victims. Japan, however, has done little to address its past wrongdoings, especially regarding its crimes of sexual slavery (the "comfort women" system) of the then Japanese Imperial Army. Far from offering sincere apologies or legal compensation to the victims, Japan has avoided its state responsibility and has continued to distort history.

In August 10th, people from around the world join the survivors (former "comfort women") in South Korea and the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan to show support for their 14-year long struggle.  Since January 1992, they have been continuing the weekly protest rally in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul every single Wednesday, demanding official apology and legal compensation from Japan.
