"Trostfrauen", "Comfort Women"

Vom Korea Council erreicht uns folgender Brief und das Programm für den Monat August.

The Second International Memorial Day for the “comfort women”

is coming up. Here the Korean Council briefly shares our action plan for the day. Various events will be held in Seoul and other local cities.

First of all, following the delivery to the UN Human Rights Council, the Korean Council will deliver first gathered petitions (over 1.5 million) of the „100 Million Signatures Campaign“ to the Japanese Embassy during the Wednesday Demonstration. As for the domestic activities in Korea, we will inform you as soon as we receive all the plans from domestic groups. We are aware that some of you will take solidarity actions to celebrate the anniversary of the end of the war. Please share your action plans for the same cause and spirit! Your solidarity messages or statements are also welcomed. Our statement will be sent to you as soon as it is prepared.

Our various actions will be a new chance to draw attentions to recover the justice for “comfort women” against recent denials and brutal speeches by Japan. We send our deep solidarity to all of you.
