The Untold History of Asia ~The “Comfort Women” lost to history~ 【Asian Semester】

(Japanese can be used for the Q&A after)

When thinking of war and peace, the “comfort women” cannot be forgotten.

Try considering this issue not as passive onlookers observing a gender issue

that is yesterday’s news, but rather as our own problem as human beings.


If you were in the place of a women, and conversely if you were in the place of a man?

If a war broke out tomorrow and your country became occupied?

If a war broke out tomorrow, and you were enlisted (or became a prisoner of war)?


For the untold war, come and open this page of untold history.
