In memory of the victims of military sexual
slavery during the second world war
This historical marker is being offered in
memory of the Filipina victims of Japanese
military sexual slavery during the second
world war.
During the Japanese occupation of the
Philippines. Approximately 1,000 women became
victims of military sexual slavery by the
Japanese imperial army.
All over the country, in these “comfort
stations” or sites were the institutional
and organized rape and abuse of women by
the Japanese military were committed.
Through this historical marker, a memorialization
of the history of the women victims
will be achieved in the hope that this
tragedy will never happen again and that
henceforth, no generation of Filipino victims
will never be memorialized as victims of
military sexual slavery
