Japanese mayor: WWI 'comfort women' sex slaves 'necessary' for morale



This is taking place in Tokyo, Japan. The people who are involved are prostitutes who served for military men in world war II. The human right that is being violated is equality between genders. Also, the right to freedom and slavery. I could not believe that people actually thought this was a necessary thing to do. These women were violated and used as slaves. They had no right to take away their freedom. Also that someone had said that it was tradition to have a woman comfort men. I think that statement really bothers me because they make it seem as if it was their duty to become used like that. I would be equally disgusted if it were the other way around. no one should ever be used like that.
