SUPPORT 121 COALITION
National Coalition United to Defend Human Rights and Support H.Res.121
Support H.Res. 121 and defend human rights, women's rights and global peace.
Japanese Imperial Army enslaved 200,000 girls and women of Asia during WWII and exploited them as "comfort women."
But there was no comfort in military organized rape. And many were not yet women. There were girls under sixteen and as young as twelve.
These girls and women were victims of months and years of gang rape and brutal torture that resulted in death, dehumanization and disease.
H.Res. 121, introduced by Congressman Mike Honda, calls upon the Japanese government to make an unequivocal and official apology for this atrocity.
Despite testimonies of survivors and historic documentation, Japan has made only vague apologies and has never taken full responsibility. Right now, Prime Minister Abe and the Japanese government are engaged in a campaign to deny any responsibility and to claim there is no evidence of rape.
