the true nature of the Japanese army’s comfort women issue in WW2 is an abusing human rights, not a problem of abduction or labor by compulsion of Japanese government.
I can’t agree with this quite a wrong argument in the historical view. Prostitution was legal system and there are many licensed prostitutes at that time. We can’t determine about the history by recent way of thinking, especially human rights.
Japanese government had established the law for their health, working environment to avoid licensed prostitutes’ abusing at comfort women’s brothel then. Offenders against such laws were severely punished by the government. This system had no problem compare with international standards.
At that time, prostitution was legal nearly everywhere in the world (still many countries allow prostitution by the law now).
In spite of this historical fact, only Japanese have been labeled as governmental forced accommodating women to run the brothel. This make Japanese image as dirty, brute or ungrateful fellow.
This sadly defamation began with mislead by the Asahi Simbun Company
.
We Japanese value the honor above anything else.
So, I want the Asahi Shimbun Company apologize to all Japanese people and inform they forged sex slaves article to the world.
