The 13th International Memorial Day for the Japanese Military “Comfort Women”
✨ Our Hope Ignites in Your Light ✨
14 August marks the International Memorial Day for the Japanese Military “Comfort Women,” a day to honor the courage of countless victims, including Kim Hak-Soon, who was the first to publicly testify about her experience.
This year, in commemoration of the 13th International Memorial Day for the Japanese Military “Comfort Women”, the Korean Council is organising various events under the theme “Our Hope Ignites in Your Light.”
The victims who bravely shared the truth about the Japanese military sexual slavery have become an enduring light. Their testimony opposes war, fosters mutual care, and continues to spark hope by lighting the way toward a more peaceful and just world.
