Taipei - Exhibition on ‘comfort women’

For more than five years, American-born Korean artist Chang-jin Lee has devoted herself to amassing evidence that during World War II the Japanese government recruited and even abducted women in Asia to serve as its soldiers’ sex slaves.

Posters, film footage and related items from seven Asian countries and regions are displayed in her “Comfort Women Wanted” exhibition in Taipei, which runs through February 16.

A highlight is the reconstruction of a military “comfort station” with basic facilities and wooden planks bearing the names of the comfort women.

Posters of women who were systematically as sex slaves by the Japanese army are also posted in Taipei metro stations and Eslite bookstores.
