Although military prostitution has existed throughout history, the extent of it and the systematic and
brutal way it was carried out by the Japanese military was unprecedented.
Students who study this unit will discover the depths of the Comfort Women system set up by the
Japanese government. They will discover the reasons “comfort stations” were set up, the locations of some of
these stations, the treatment of the women, and the extent of Japan’s denial of the system and its responsibility.
In addition, students will have the opportunity to read, and even hear and see the testimonies of a few of
the survivors of the horrors of being forced into the Comfort Women System.
