MESSAGE TO THE FUTUR (SEX SLAVES)

Message to the Future

Testimonies of women forced to be the sex slaves by the old Japanese armed forces.

In World War II, Japan forced the women in Korea and other Asian countries to be the sex slaves.

These photographs and testimonies shown here are from my coverage record started in 1991. Many victims have already died.

To prevent those tragedies from being repeated, it is necessary to pass down their miserable experiences to the future generations.
