Description: 1st generation Japanese-American Emi Koyama writes about the erasure of the “comfort women” system and its political and personal impacts by right-wing Japanese nationalist groups in the United States. She introduces the term comfort women and the details of the international legal conflict surrounding justice for the women involved. Emi provides evidence that demonstrates the role of media distortion, such as a 1944 U.S. Military Report and the Interagency Working Group Report. There is a timeline of comfort women denial in the U.S. and a list of resources for further learning.
