Title: Comfort Women
Description: A Japanese-American student conducts a historical review of the sex slavery and trafficking ring known as the “comfort women” system, established by the Japanese armed forces during World War II. The author contends with the failure on the part of the Japanese government to fulfill reparations and legal restitution to survivors, as well as completely obfuscating the crime from Japanese public education. -- Claudia
