Abstract
In this thesis, I will center my focus on the long lasting social, psychological, and health impact that Comfort Women suffered due to the Japanese government's treatment of them before and during World War Two. Comfort Women are women from Korea and China who were forced into sex slavery by Japan between 1910 and 1945. Many of these women were kidnaped by the Japanese military or were coerced into becoming Comfort Women by Japan. A small number of Comfort Women are alive today and are still actively trying to get a formal apology from the Japanese government for what happened to them. My thesis is their story.
