Wow!! Never knew about this

It's sickening that segregation even existed in the first place.

Eat THAT antivaxxers!

My son went through a male chauvinist stage when he was about 9. We sat down and he learned about Pavlichenko and others and that women can do anything,

All antivaxxers who want to claim they're being treated as badly as the Jews need to read this.

Wooooow! humans are terrible

The fate of the 'comfort women' in World War II was bitter and cruel. About 200,000 Korean, Indonesian, Dutch, Filipino, Taiwanese, Burmese, Australian and Chinese women were systematically used as sex slaves by Japanese soldiers. In 1998, a Japanese court ruled in favor of three South Korean women who had filed a complaint against Japan. However, the High Court in Hiroshima rejected the decision, arguing the Japanese government does not have to pay compensation to the women because all of the compensation had been paid off through peace treaties that officially ended the war. None of the other lawsuits were successful.

The look on these women's faces is heartbreaking. And then the smiling man...this just boils my piss. I cannot imagine the trauma of being raped once, let alone 40-50 times per day!!

The stories of what the Japanese did to Chinese and Korean women is so horrific. I don't know that an apology could ever cover it.

That's f****d up

Comfort women is such a misnomer. They were enslaved and repeatedly raped and tortured.

The reason why japanese are good in medical fields, was because of the human experiment they did.You can google Japan human experiment Unit 731 . The reason why my Korean friends hate Japan(government), is because they refused to apologize. They never apologized as far as I know

This book tells the story of one of them https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01DF0TM2S/ref=kinw_myk_ro_title

Let's not forgot that it took enormous international pressure to force Japan to apologise. Japan have now rewritten a lot of their history in school books to avoid any nasty references like this so it looks like they were all sweetness and light during WWII.

4 miserable women and 1 happy guy. Ridiculous.

I heard that they don't teach about this in japanese schools so many of them don't even know

I feel so sorry that hose women had to do that! Worse yet their families rejected them because of shame. If the woman were victims of any other violent crimes, they wouldn't treat them that way. Rape is a violent crime. It's so sad. Why did they need to censor the word "suicide?" I get that it's harsh to sensitive people but seriously, the article itself is harsh. Suicide is reality. We should be talking about it not censoring it .

This is awful..never heard about this before ..absolutely disgusted..

Another crime against humanity by the Japanese.

Why is the word suicide censored? Bored Panda, if you're reading this, we need to destigmatize this word so that we can talk about this openly.

It's so sad that women are treated as masterbation tools when they are such a vital part of humanity. Probable a lot more than some men. Yet, war has never be3n kind to women, children or others.

Before you read the description, you can tell from the picture something is horribly wrong. The womens' faces compared to the man's grin...

Read about the rape of Nanking, these animals would rape women with lit cigarette and cut off breasts parts for fun. The Japanese was just as cruel than the German.

Men suck

For more awful facts about the WWII Japanese army/government, look up the Nanking Massacre and Unit 731. Two separate things, but OH BOY. If you want to be horrified further, those will do it.

Why cover the word suicide? Really? In other order of idea…humans are the CANCER of this planet! We deserve what's coming our way! Sorry

Unfortunately it were not only the Korean women. The Dutch women were also used, in the Netherlands they are called “troostmeisjes” comfortgirls.

Why not write the complete word. Shoe respect. SUICIDE. These women deserve for people to know they were so badly treated they only had one alternative.

This is one of the saddest things I have ever read.

That makes me sick reading that, mankind sucks.

Have we in the West apologised for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? It may have ended WWII early but at what cost?

You're just finding this out now?

That dik is the only one smiling 😡

these women didn't "serve" 40 to 50 men a day, they were RAPED by 40 to 50 men a day, A DAY!

Families can be so judgemental 🙄

it was such a sad /bad reflection on humanity , wonder if any of the men were ever done for war crimes

😢

This makes me sick. Humans are truly horrendous

They wanted to strip Koreans of their culture....Jeez, I'm surprised they all didn't die of sexually related diseases!!!

And those who woked aboard ships were thrown overboard alive when they were too exhausted to stand up.
