Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

A statue--Pyeonghwabi--of a teenage girl who symbolizes "comfort women" sits in the War & Women's Human Rights Museum in Seoul, South Korea. Created in 2011 for the 1000th weekly vigil demanding action from the Japanese embassy in Seoul, the statue has a bird perched on its shoulder, signifying peace and freedom. A similar statue sits permanently at the demonstration site, within constant sight of Japanese diplomats.

Thousands of women, mostly from Korea, were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II.
