2차 세계대전 중 한국의 여자들은 일본의 위안부로 강제로 끌려와 능욕을 당했다.


전 일본의 전 총리들은 이 잔악한 전쟁 범죄에 대해 사죄를 해왔지만 현 아베총리는 

아직도 이를 인정하지 않고 있다.


그녀들은 아직도 트라우마에 시달리며 고통스러운 삶을 살아가고 있다.

한편 한국에서는 광복 70주년을 맞아 수백명이 일본대사관 앞에서 시위를 했다.

The haunting legacy of the Second World War lives on in the South Korean 'comfort women' who were forced into prostitution by the Japanese army.


Gil Won-Ok, 88, was taken to a Japanese army brothel in 1940 - when she was just 13.

She has demanded an apology from the Japanese government for the years of sexual abuse she suffered, during which time she caught syphilis and developed tumors. A military doctor then removed Gil's uterus, leaving her unable to bear children.


Lee Ok-Sun, also 88, was taken to a Chinese airfield in 1942 - when she was 15 - where she was repeatedly raped. Later she was taken to various Japanese army brothels.


Now 70 years on from Japan's World War Two defeat on August 15, 1945, hundreds took part in a rally outside Japan's embassy in South Korea's capital - demanding an apology on their behalf - where an 81-year-old man lit himself on fire.
