Overview
The War and Women's Human Rights Museum is a space that remembers and educates survivors of Japanese military Comfort Women victims' history, and works to address the issue of sexual slavery in the Japanese military. It is a museum that pays attention to the ongoing issue of wartime sexual violence and stands in solidarity and action for a world free from war and violence against women. The long-standing wish of the Japanese military 'Comfort Women' survivors, who hoped for children to grow up in a safe and peaceful world, resonated with citizens both at home and abroad, leading to fundraising activities. Finally, on Children's Day on May 5, 2012, the War and Women's Human Rights Museum opened in response to this wish. Through exhibitions, the museum systematically collected and preserved records for the Japanese military sexual slavery issue and resolution movement are being shared and remembered, striving for a world free from war and violence.
