The majority of these women died, unable to survive the ordeal. Those survivors who came back home kept silent about their brutal experiences for about fifty years. In the late 1980s, the women?s movement in South Korea helped start the redress movement for the victims, encouraging many survivors to come forward to tell what happened to them. With these testimonies, the redress movement gained strong support from the UN, the United States, and other Western countries. Korean ?Comfort Women? synthesizes the previous major findings about Japanese military sexual slavery and legal recommendations, and provides new findings about the issues ?comfort women? faced for an English-language audience. It also examines the transnational redress movement, revealing that the Japanese government has tried to conceal the crime of sexual slavery and to resolve the women?s human rights issue with diplomacy and economic power. 517 3 $aMilitary brothels, brutality, and the redress movement 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xWomen$zKorea 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities$zKorea 606 $aWomen and war$zKorea$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xCrimes against$zKorea 606 $aComfort women$zKorea$xHistory 606 $aSexual abuse victims$zKorea 606 $aService, Compulsory non-military$zJapan 606 $aReparations for historical injustices 610 $aGenocide, Politics, Political Violence, Human Rights, Gender Role, Military, Movements, Korea, Brutality, Sexual Slavery, Redress Movement, U.S., Immigrants, Victims, Exploitation, Japan, Torture, brothels, War crimes. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xWomen 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAtrocities 615 0$aWomen and war 615 0$aWomen$xCrimes against 615 0$aComfort women$xHistory. 615 0$aSexual abuse victims 615 0$aService, Compulsory non-military 615 0$aReparations for historical injustices. 676 $a940.5405 700 $aMin$b Pyong Gap$f1942-$01127138 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554215603321 996 $aKorean "comfort women"$92817949 997 $aUNINA
