Around 200,000 young women and girls were forced into sexual servitude by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Pacific War. They survived years of rape and harsh treatment. Sixty-five years on, they are still campaigning for justice.
Dear Prime Minister,
I am one of thousands of young people from across the Asia Pacific region who support the survivors of sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army in their demand for justice.
I call on your government to:
- Accept full responsibility for the grave violations of the survivors’ human rights
during the Pacific War; - Make an official apology to these women for the crimes committed against them;
- Provide adequate compensation to survivors and their families;
- Accurately depict the sexual slavery system in all educational text books on the Pacific War.
These crimes against humanity will not be forgotten. We must address past injustices to prevent such crimes from happening again.

you can avoid talking the truth, twist it to your liking, and even hide it under your seat, but, it will creep out and reveal itself. one day, when the culprit can never run again.
