In World War II, the Japanese army made 2 lakh foreign girls sex slaves, now the court has given such a verdict.
Seoul, dated 24 November 2023
During the Second World War, the Japanese army did not spare anything in its brutality. Before Japan was defeated in this war, the Japanese army occupied many countries in the Pacific Ocean and during this time, the soldiers of the Japanese army made 2 lakh foreign girls into sex slaves.
The Japanese soldiers went beyond all limits in sexually exploiting these girls. The soldiers also committed atrocities on these girls and kept them in their custody for years.
In this matter, now South Korea has given a big blow to Japan and has ordered to pay 1.54 lakh dollars i.e. 1.28 crore rupees to each of the girls who were made sex slaves during the war.
The court said that the girls were abducted by the Japanese soldiers and made them their slaves. Although most of these girls are no longer alive in the world, 16 women who are still alive filed a petition in the court. The lower court rejected the women's demand for compensation but the high court said That, the girls were abducted by the Japanese soldiers and made them their slaves. Japan should pay compensation to these girls. Because these women could never live a normal life after the war.
A 95-year-old woman, who was made a sex slave and is still alive, expressed her happiness after the court's verdict and told the media that today I am also grateful to the victims who have died.
Historians say that Japanese soldiers mostly made sex slaves of girls from Korea, China, and other Asian countries. This is an issue that has soured relations between Seoul and Tokyo.
Because the Japanese government has been denying that anyone has been made a sex slave by its army. It says that these girls were recruited by the citizens of that country in brothels and this business was being managed systematically.
