    Comfort Women In Asia During WW2- In Honor of Women's History Month

    Send us Fan Mail ⚠️ Content Advisory Statement This episode discusses wartime sexual violence, coercion, and historical trauma related to the “comfort women” system during World War II. Some listeners may find these topics distressing. We encourage you to listen at your own pace and prioritize your well-being. Support resources are included in the episode description.  March is Women’s History Month — a time to honor resilience, resistance, and the often untold stories of women who shaped our world. Today’s episode explores one of the most painful and complex chapters of 20th-century history: the system of sexual enslavement known as the “comfort women” system during World War II. Across Asia — including Korea, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and beyond — thousands of girls and women were coerced or forced into military brothels run by the Imperial Japanese Army. For decades, many survivors lived in silence, carrying trauma that extended far beyond the war itself. In this episode, we examine not only the historical record, but also the enduring psychological impact, the fight for recognition and justice, and the global movement to preserve survivor testimony. This conversation contains discussions of sexual violence and historical trauma. Listener discretion is advised. We approach this topic with respect, care, and a commitment to centering survivor voices.  Thank you for joining us. 📚Resource List for Listeners Historical & Educational Resources • The Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance – Advocacy, survivor testimony, and educational materials • Women’s Active Museum on War and Peace – Research and documentation center in Tokyo • Amnesty International – Reports on wartime sexual violence • United Nations Human Rights Office – International reports and statements Books • The Comfort Women by George Hicks • Comfort Women Speak by Sangmie Choi Schellstede  The Undrowning Lotus: A WW2 Historical Novel, Based on a True Story of a Sexual Slavery Survivor-by Jenny Chan  Documentaries • The Apology (dir.
