ComfortWomenProtest

10 OCTOBER 2018 - SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: The Wednesday protests have been taking place since January 1992. Protesters want the Japanese government to apologize for the forced sexual enslavement of up to 400,000 Asian women during World War II. The women, euphemistically called "Comfort Women" were drawn from territories Japan conquered during the war and many came from Korea, which was a Japanese colony in the years before and during the war. The "comfort women" issue is still a source of anger of many people in northeast Asian areas like South Korea, Manchuria and some parts of China. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
