Welcome to the House of Sharing!

The House of Sharing is both a museum and home to former "Comfort Women" - survivors of sexual slavery at the hands of the Japanese military during the Asia-Pacific War (1932-1945).

 The House of Sharing is the world's first human rights museum centred on the theme of sexual slavery.  The museum opened on August 14th, 1998 to record Japanese war crimes, to restore the honor of the victims and to function as a place of historical education.  Daedong Construction Inc. donated the buildings of the House of Sharing and citizens and organizations in Korea and Japan privately funded the museum. 

 The House of Sharing is helping the halmoni (respectful term for grandmother) push the Japanese government to submit to the seven demands of the halmoni.

Who We Are
The House of Sharing International Outreach Team works to raise awareness of the issue of Japanese military sexual slavery and to support the on-going struggle for historical reconciliation and justice. The team is comprised of both foreign and local volunteers who lead visits at the House of Sharing in English, and work to highlight the continuing crimes against humanity in the form of sexual violence during war.
