“Bound feet symbolize torture of women for men’s pleasure.”

“The definition of war crimes had included and continues to include atrocities such as rape, abduction of women and girls for forced prostitution, and coercion to prostitution. Japan’s government is therefore responsible for the atrocities committed against not only the Dutch military sex slaves for the Imperial Japanese Military, comfort women, but women from other countries as well.”

“After this meeting, responsibility for the comfort stations was divided between Yosano and Colonel C.F. Sams, Chief of the US Public Health and Welfare Department.72 These stations were only shut down because of the threat of sexually transmitted diseases and not because they realized it was a severe violation of these women and girls.73 When a US chaplain, who was assigned to the occupation of Japan in 1946, protested to the base commander upon seeing officers setting up brothels on the base, he was re-assigned stateside within weeks.74”
