‘I will continue to be brave’: Surviving WWII Filipino ‘comfort women’ fight for recognition, apology

The remaining Filipino survivors who were forced into sexual slavery by Imperial Japan during World War II are planning to submit a petition for justice to be served. The survivors, who are euphemistically called “comfort women,” were abducted and coerced into sexual slavery for the gratification of military personnel during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines from 1942 to 1945. Members of Lila Pilipina (League of Philippine Lolas), an organization founded in 1994 by surviving comfort women and their supporters, discussed their demands for justice during a media forum at the Commission of Human Rights in Quezon City, Philippines, on March 23.
