At the age of 92 passed away the woman nicknamed “Mami” (a.k.a. “Grandma”) from Taiwan, who was the last known survivor of the “sex slaves» which had Japan to World War II.
“The issue of these women is a blight on human history, and the government has prioritized the dignity and well-being of the Taiwanese victims,” a foreign ministry spokesman said today. Jeff Liu. The island’s government “continued to express its concerns” to Tokyo and urged the Japanese to “accomplish our request, apologize and compensate the Taiwanese relief women and their families.”
More than 200,000 womenmainly from South Korea but also from other Asian countries, were used as sex slaves by the Japanese military, who called them “relief women”.
In Taiwanwho was under Japanese rule between 1895-1945, approximately 60 women were identified as survivors, according to the Taipei Women’s Rescue Foundation, an organization that helps female victims of sexual violence and prostitution. However, the foundation estimates that the actual number of these women exceeds 2,000 on the island.
In fact, the sexual slavery of wartime Japanese women is a politically sensitive issue throughout Asia. According to what is known, Japan at that time in an attempt to do ethnic cleansing in the enslaved regions of Asia, forced local women into prostitution. Several of them were systematically raped, while their children ended up working as slaves for the Japanese Empire.
The government of Japan has admitted the extremeshowever disagrees with the payment of damageswhile he is furious with any organizations or states that continue to raise this issueeven as a historical reference.
