Testimonial Event with Korean “Comfort Woman” Survivor Lee

Come hear the testimony of Grandmother Mak Dal Lee, a survivor of the Japanese Military Sexual Slavery System. An estimated 200,000 young Asian women, euphemistically called “comfort women,” were coerced or deceived into sexually servicing the Japanese military between 1932 and 1945. Sixty years later, the Japanese government has not fully acknowledged this history and refuses to offer an official apology for state-sponsored military sexual slavery.
