Against Forgetting

The Against Forgettting project pays tribute to “comfort women,” the hundreds of thousands of women who were forced into sexual slavery by Imperial Japan between 1932 and 1945, as well as to bring awareness to contemporary issues surrounding war and sexual violence worldwide while condemning the government officials who refuse to recognize these crimes.
