The “Comfort Women” Debate: Views From Korea, China, and Japan

While the plight of the so-called “comfort women” has long been seen as a Korean issue, it is simultaneously a broader matter concerning historical justice, human rights, and peace in East Asia. Three experts share information on how the “comfort women’s” long struggle for justice has been received by the public in Korea, China, and Japan. Participants will theorize possible resolutions that could honor the victims, promote the value of human rights, and facilitate cooperation among the three countries.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures (REALC).
