The 1,400th Wednesday Rally against Japan's wartime sex slavery, August 14, 2019 : Kim Gyung-Ae (front, 91), who said that she was forced to become a comfort woman or sex slave by Japanese military during the Second World War, leaves after attending the 1,400th weekly protest against Japanese government to demand official apology from Tokyo, in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. August 14 is International Memorial Day for Comfort Women, which is the date the late Kim Hak-Sun, a former comfort woman, first publicly testified in 1991 about Japan operating an organized military brothel program during World War II. According to local media, historians say up to 200,000 women, mostly Koreans, were coerced into sexual servitude in front-line Japanese brothels during World War II when the Korean Peninsula was a Japanese colony.
