For 70 years, Japan has denied the "comfort women". It is estimated that nearly 400,000 girls from Korea, China, Philippines were enslaved in total. According to researcher, C. Sarah Soh, author of "The Comfort Women: Sexual Violence and Postcolonial Memory in Korea and Japan," the comfort women system was viewed as a way "to control the troops through regulated access to sex." Still, the victims are suffering from deep psychological trauma, as well as headaches, memory loss, and other associated physical and medical problems. Dr. Peipei Qiu, author of "Chinese Comfort Women: Testimonies from Imperial Japan's Sex Slaves," says "If the historical truth is not told, the same thing could happen again." Regardless of opponents' claims, Qiu says the survivor testimonies provide a powerful counter narrative to the Japanese denial. The truth cannot be hidden.
"If the historical truth is not told, the same thing could happen again."
