Summary
Provides background on the system established by Japanese military overseas in the 1930s and 1940s in which local "comfort women" were coerced into providing sex to military personnel; and discusses current issue of contention between the Japanese Government and House of Representatives surrounding two resolutions introduced in the House of Representatives in 2006 and 2007 and Japanese reactions to them. Outlines evidence of the comfort women system, Japanese Government admissions, foreign reaction and controversies relating to the Asian Women's Fund atonement program, omission of this topic from Japanese textbooks, and related lawsuits in Japanese and U.S. courts.
