 \nRALLY for TRUTH & JUSTICE on\n\nInternational “Comfort Women” 
 Memorial Day\n\n\n​Monday, August 14\n\nNoon to 1:00 pm\n\nJapanese 
 Consulate\n\n275 Battery St.\n\nSan Francisco, CA\n\n \n \nWhat Is This 
 Commemoration About?\n\n \nThe “comfort women” struggle for truth and 
 justice is an international movement of education and redress 
 mobilization:\n\n--to preserve the history of over 200,000 women and girls 
 from 11 countries who suffered under the Imperial Japanese military system 
 of sex slavery and trafficking during WWII and \n\n--to secure government 
 accountability and redress for these brutal human rights violations.  
 \n\nDespite the passage of over 80 years, this unresolved WWII justice 
 issue continues as an ongoing struggle against historical denialism and 
 government impunity in the present context of increasing danger of war and 
 growing militarization and violence against women in the Asia Pacific 
 region.\n\n\n \nAugust 14, 1991 is the day that Kim Haksoon halmoni shared 
 her experience as a “comfort woman,” thereby breaking the silence and 
 igniting the “comfort women” justice struggle.  Many individuals and 
 organizations throughout the world have been commemorating August 14 as 
 “Comfort Women” Memorial Day, since 2012 when it was so designated by 
 the 11th Asian Alliance Conference for “Comfort Women.”\n\n \nWhat Can
