Statue of Peace

Seoul, South Korea

The Statue of Peace, often shortened to Sonyeosang in Korean or Shōjo-zō in Japanese and sometimes called the Comfort Woman Statue, is a symbol of the women forced into sexual slavery—known euphemistically as comfort women—by the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces before and during World War II—specifically, the period from the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War until the end of the Pacific War. The Statue of Peace was first erected in Seoul to urge the Japanese government to apologize to and honour the victims.
