War crimes on Asian women: Military sexual slavery by Japan during world war II: The case of Filipino comfort women

---

This book examines the systematic sexual enslavement of Asian women by the Japanese military during World War II, focusing specifically on the experiences of Filipino “comfort women.” Through historical documentation, survivor testimonies, and legal analyses, the work exposes how thousands of women were coerced, deceived, or forcibly taken into military brothels where they were subjected to repeated rape, torture, and inhumane treatment. The narrative situates these crimes within broader structures of imperialism, militarism, and gender-based violence, revealing how the intersection of war and patriarchy enabled widespread atrocities. The book also explores postwar struggles for recognition, justice, and reparations, highlighting the resilience of survivors and the ongoing international advocacy to classify these abuses as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Ultimately, it underscores the importance of historical accountability and the global fight against sexual violence in armed conflict.
