INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE REDRESS MOVEMENT FOR THE VICTIMS OF JAPANESE MILITARY SEXUAL SLAVERY: Looking Back at the 27-year Movement

This conference invites 18 “comfort women” scholars and movement leaders in Korea, Japan, and the United States to look back at the 27-year old movement and to publicize the “comfort women” issue and the Japanese government’s obligations to take responsible actions to the victims and Asian countries.

아시아·태평양전쟁 당시8만~20만에 이르는 아시아 여성이 일본군의 성노예로 끌려가 희생되었다. 이 중, 한국 여성의 수가 가장 많았다.
1990년대 한국에서 시작된 일본군 성노예 희생자를 위한 배상운동은 아시아 국가를 비롯해 미국 및 다른 서구 국가들로부터도 국제적인 지지를 받아왔다. 그러나 아직까지도 일본 정부는 희생자들에게 진심으로 사과하고 적절한 배상을 하지 않고 있다.
재외한인사회연구소는 한국, 일본, 미국에서 18명의 저명한 ‘위안부’ 연구학자와 운동가들을 초청해 지난 27년간의 일본군 성노예 희생자 배상운동을 돌아보는 계기를 마련했다.
