LOS ANGELES—Join the Museum of Social Justice for the opening of “Comfort Women” Then and Now.

Tens of thousands of women and girls were forced into sexual slavery by the imperial Japanese army between 1932 and 1945. Forced to work in “comfort stations” for twelve hours a day, the women lived under deplorable conditions, moving about as they followed the army, then abandoned when the war ended. CARE (Comfort Women Action for Redress & Education) continues to tell the story of these women, pushing for acknowledgment of these human rights abuses from the Japanese government.

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 2 | 4 pm

Exhibit Run: February 29–July 14, 2024

Where: Museum of Social Justice | 115 Paseo de la Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90012
