Amnesty International Report on "Comfort Women"

Something I got from Josh Hong's article. A very thorough report by Amnesty International in which it documents the unimaginable sufferings women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army during WW2 have to endure, as well as how the Japanese government has repeatedly try to wash its hands off it by subverting history. Perhaps that will change when House Resolution 121 is finally tabled into the House of Representatives, and gets supported. It's time these women get the official apology from the Japanese government for these past atrocities, as well as reparation as per international law on war crimes. They have fought for so long just so they could bring a proper closure to this terrible chapter in their lives, and it is only right the Japanese government acts responsibly to contribute to that closure. It's time to admit to the stark truth of history, apologize unreservedly, and bring about its proper closure. But an ironic truth reading through the report is that similar modus operandi is being employed today to trick and abduct girls and women into the slave trade worldwide - by promising well paid jobs but upon arrival forced into the flesh trade. And this serious problem of human trafficking doesn't seem like it would end any time soon.
