碑文
Young Girl’s Statue for Peace
This memorial honors the girls and women, euphemistically called “Comfort Women,” who were enslaved by the Japanese Imperial Armed Forces from 1931 to 1945.
The Comfort Women constitute one of the largest known cases of human trafficking in the 20th century with estimates ranging up to the hundreds of thousands.
This dark history was hidden for decades until the 1990s, when the survivors courageously broke their silence.
The Comfort Women are from at least thirteen Asian-Pacific countries, principally from Korea.
Most died or were killed during World War II.
This memorial is dedicated to the memory of these girls and women and to the crusade to eradicate sexual violence and sex trafficking throughout the world. We will never forget. We will teach the truth.
Presented to the City of Brookhaven for its leadership in the fight against sex trafficking
