The issue of comfort women who were sex slaves to the Japanese military during WW2 has been talked about for quite some time, but the academic research and investigation have been limited to collecting testimonies of the victims.�

The document that was recently uncovered had been revealed in 1997, but it was not the original document, which is why this discovery is extremely meaningful for those who are still fighting for justice for the comfort women victims.�
