The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual
Slavery, by Japan sends our sisterhood and respect to
those of you in various parts of the world who are fighting for the protection
of and development in women’s human rights and its peaceful stability.
'The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for
Military Sexual Slavery by Japan' (The Korean Council) is an organization
striving to solve matters in regards to military sexual slavery by Japan during
WWII, which is one of the most tragic violation against women's human rights
during the war.
The Korean Council has endeavored to bring
back justice and dignity to the victims since 1990. Our continuous campaigns
have drawn great attention from international and national supporters. We all
agreed that the violation against women's human rights in war is still
happening around the world and realized the seriousness of the matter.
The Korean Council wishes to restore the victims’
rights and dignity by solving the “comfort women” issue and is trying to form
solidarity with women who are experiencing similar pain from current wars and
armed conflicts. The Korean Council is working to prevent the recurrence of
similar war crime and is participating in bringing peace to Asia and the world.
For the past 20 years, The Korean Council
with Japanese military “comfort women” victims, who are now in their 80s and
90s, have fought in front of Embassy of Japan in Korea demanding formal apology,
legal reparation, and other just claims. We call this fight as “Wednesday
Demonstration.”
Every Wednesday at noon at
the same place we have demanded solution to the Japanese military “comfort
women” problem. This coming December 14, 2001, will mark the extraordinary
1000th Wednesday Demonstration.
As The Korean Council welcomes 1000th
demonstration mark, we ask women from all over the world to act in solidarity
and join the Japanese military “comfort women” victims in their persistent
fight.
