Preserve comfort women monument as a symbol of bloody history of Korea during Japanese colonization
During Japanese colonization, approximately 50,000~200,000 Korean women, according to most scholars, have been tricked, kidnapped, and were forced to leave their country to become military sexual slaves by Japan. In many cases, women were lured with promises of work in factories. Only 68 of the women managed to return to Korea.
We strongly urge President Obama not to remove the monument, and let Japan’s crime be the lesson of the history not only to the international society but also to the people of Japanese posterity
