Webzine KYEOL Special Features in August 2024



How familiar are you with the issue of "Comfort Women" exploited by the Japanese military? During World War II, the Japanese army forcibly took women from various Asian countries to serve as sexual slaves. From 1931 to 1945, as Japan waged war across the Asia-Pacific, these so-called "Comfort Women" were taken not only from nearby places like Korea and China but also from Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Singapore, and East Timor, and even as far as the Netherlands and Australia. It's estimated that around 200,000 women were affected, yet this painful history remains largely unrecognized. In the webzine Kyeol 2024, we share the stories of these survivors and the people who have passionately stepped up to support them. You’ll also hear the heartfelt hopes of those working to support victims of wartime sexual violence still happening in Ukraine.

The issue of Japanese military "Comfort Women" is no longer just a problem for survivors or a relic of the past. Survivors live around the world, and this remains an ongoing issue, as sexual violence in war zones continues wherever conflicts arise. The webzine Kyeol is committed to sharing the stories of wartime sexual violence survivors from across the globe and raising greater awareness of the Japanese military "Comfort Women" issue.
