Wednesday Demonstration
Every Wednesday, living comfort women, women’s organizations, socio-civic groups, religious groups, and a number of individuals participate in the “Wednesday Demonstration” in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul, sponsored by “The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan.” It was first held on January 8, 1992, when Japan’s Prime Minister, Miyazawa, visited the Republic of Korea. It is to demand the full investigation and fulfillment of responsibility to restore the dignity and rights of the victims and to pressure the Japanese government to apologize for past atrocities.
