We are launching a digital archive with translated annotations on primary sources and documentary evidence on Imperial Japan’s multinational system of sexual slavery and trafficking as part of military policy and practice throughout the Second World War — an institution known euphemistically as the military “comfort women” system.
The sources include translated and English-language records, e.g., the crucial 1944 U.S. POW Interrogation Report No. 49, and records of forcible recruitment (physical and non-physical, i.e., coercion) and trafficking across more than 13 countries.
The aim of this project is to support and substantiate research and educational efforts, at all levels and fields of study, with readily accessible resources and a common set of facts.
