Comfort women in memoriam

Korean-Japanese children from Osaka, the second-largest city of Japan, sing Korea’s traditional folk song “Arirang,” commemorating eight former comfort women who died this year in front of Japanese Embassy, Seoul, Dec. 29.

A memorial event for them was held on the day, the year’s last Wednesday Demonstration for resolving the issue of comfort women who had been coerced to serve as sex slaves for the Japanese military during World War II.

As of December, eighty out of 234 former comfort women registered in the government's list are still alive.
