Bridge the political ‘agreement’ to the true ‘resolution’January 13th, 2016
On December 28th 2015, an announcement was made that the foreign ministers of the Republic of Korea(ROK) and Japan reached an agreement to finally resolve the issue of Japan’s military sexual slavery during the meeting they held that day. The content of the agreement between the two countries is far from satisfactory by international standards as measures to redress the sufferings of women upon whom extreme sexual violence was inflicted in armed conflicts. It must be said that the Japanese government has not learned through the process of ‘Asian Women’s Fund’ that pushing a political agreement in the absence of the victims and forcing them to make a painful choice in itself is a violent act.
