PAINFUL MEMORY | Members of Malaya Lolas , made up of surviving victims of sexual slavery during the Japanese occupation, recounted their experiences through songs in this 2007 gathering in Candaba, Pampanga province.
In a statement, CHR Chair Richard Palpal-latoc said it was “high time” that the government finally stood up for these women, whose demands for justice have been ignored 78 years since World War II ended.He said the comfort women statue which was removed in 2018 should be put back “in honor of the stories and struggles of Filipina ‘comfort women.’”
Last week, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women issued a 19-page decision saying the Philippines “violated the rights” of these former comfort women by “failing to provide reparation, social support and recognition commensurate with the harm suffered.”
