Support the US
sex-slave resolution |

sex slaves by the Japanese military during World War II. These are

women—13 years old and older—from mainland China, Taiwan, Korea,
the Philippines, Malaysia and other East Asian countries were
abducted or forced to serve in officially sanctioned, established
and managed houses where they were systematically abused by Japanese
soldiers in need of sexual release.
