    COMFORT

    WOMEN
    SEX SLAVERY DURING WORLD WAR II
    The Philippines were colonized by a number of nations and
    countries such as Spain, America and Japan. During the Japanese
    colonization, Filipinos, especially Filipino women encountered
    tragic experiences. There was a record of one thousand women
    who were sexually enslaved by the Japanese Imperial Army which
    was also referred to as “ comfort women”.

    One of the victims was Estelita Dy, a member of Lila


    Pilipina Gabriela (The Women’s Rights Party), who lived in
    Hacienda Casela before the Japanese invaded the Philippines.
    ESTELITA DY
    According to the video, Estelita Dy was abducted when she
    was 14 years old in 1994. She and other comfort women was
    placed in a house were the Japanese Imperial Army were using
    them for sexual needs. Some of them including estelita weren’t
    able to fight back as they were afraid that they might be killed.
    Thus, they waited for help until Americans freed and released the
    abducted women.

    After that incident estelita never shared the


    traumatic experience she had in the Japanese Imperial Army to
    anyone except her mother.
    After that incident Estelita Dy enrolled in school and
    decided to recover and continue her life. She finished elementary
    school and after that, estelita applied for a job and got married to
    a Chinese man and had six children.

    During 1992, one of the victims of Japanese sexual slavery


    named Lola Rosa spoked about “Comfort Women”. Lola rosa give
    confidence not only to estelita dy but to all women especially the
    women who are victims of sexual slavery during world war II.
    LILA PILIPINA
    The Task Force on Filipino Comfort Women (TFFCW)
    was formed on July 13, 1992 founded by seven women’s
    organizations to provide a national support mechanism
    for justice for “ Filipino Comfort Women” survivors.

    Maria Rosa Luna Henson at sixty-five years old


    became the first Filipino women to recount her story in
    public military sex slave in Angeles, Pampanga for nine
    months.
    COMFORT WOMEN
    Between 1932 and the end of World War II in 1945, an
    estimated one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand women
    served as “comfort women” (sex slave) for Japanese soldiers in
    huge Japanese-run brothels were recorded.

    The Japanese called them “comfort women” a term derived


    from the Japanese word “ianfu” combining the Chinese characters
    meaning “comfort or solace” (i-an) with women (fu).
    In the Philippines, there were approximately 400 victims who
    were identified as “comfort women”. Due to concerns over their
    privacy, past trauma, and advanced age, many people are reluctant
    to talk about their experience (Maccarthy, 2020).

    Maria Rosa Luna Henson was a Filipino comfort


    women
    and was know to be the first one who confessed her
    story to the public. She speak not only for herself but
    also for all the other women who were mistreated by the
    Japanese soldiers
    In December 8, 2017 a statue made by Filipino artist
    Jonas Roces, dedicated to the Filipino “comfort women” who
    were forced and used in military brothels during World War II, it
    was unveiled through the funding from the National Historical
    Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) among other donors and
    foundations.
    The statue only lasted for four months. The statue and two
    other monuments were taken down to make a way for the
    renovation of Roxas [boulevard] baywalk area. (DPWH)

    Estelita Dy, Lola Rosa and other Filipino “comfort women”


    are still seeking for justice and apology from Japan.
