Tell your MP the “Comfort Women” issue is important to you!
If you are in Australia, download the official petition letter to be submitted to parliament for the 15th August campaign as we mark the end of WWII and take action in the Global Week of Action for “Comfort Women”.
This Petition of the Friends of “Comfort Women” in Australia draws to the attention of the House:
The so called “Comfort Women” were systematically and forcibly put into military sexual slavery during WWII by the Japanese Army. The survivors deserve justice and time to restore their dignity is running out.
This is a women’s human rights violation recognised by UN reports, Amnesty International, and the US Congress as well as the Canadian, Dutch, EU and Taiwanese Parliaments and the Korean National Assembly.
We therefore ask the House to deliver justice to “Comfort Women” by voting on a motion in urging the Japanese government to, formally and unequivocally apologise to the victims, take legal responsibility and take historical responsibility by correct teaching of history.
The petition has to be submitted in hard copy. So please download the petition, get 20 signatures, and post it back to us by Monday 3 August 2009 at: FCWA, PO Box 54, Strathfield, NSW 2135
