Women and War: Voices for Peace seeks to remember and honour the survivors of military sexual abuse during the Imperial Japanese colonisation of the Asia-Pacific, also known as ‘Comfort Women’.
The exhibition highlights the transformation of the survivors from victims to peace and human rights activists. This is timely in the wake of the global #MeToo movement and the ongoing horror of gender-based violence faced by women, particularly in conflict zones around the world.
The exhibition aims to amplify the voices of the survivors who continue to raise their voices for a world without war and gender-based violence.
Photos presented in this exhibition are provided by ‘War and Women’s Human Rights Museum in South Korea, which was founded by 정의기억연대 Justice for the ‘Comfort Women’, an organisation which has been supporting survivors across the Asia-Pacific in their decades-long fight for justice.
