>> What is the solution?

 We need to publicize the comfort women affair

    We need to enlighten the world about this inhumane incident. Of all the countries in the world, many do not even know that comfort women had existed. In some cases, not even Japanese people know about the comfort women, despite the fact that such operations were done by imperial Japan. Enlightening the people would not only raise awareness, but help the victims overcome their shame. Then we would have more people fighting for compensation on the front line.
    We must carry out protests such as the 'Wednesday Demonstration' on a global basis and demand compensation from Japan. We must also use the Internet, valued because of its accessibility, and request support. Also, we must come up with plans for countries with no access to the Internet. (There are many comfort women victims in South Eastern Asia nations, where Internet accessibility in low.)

 We must work to improve the human rights of women

    Improving women's rights is the most important thing, but it hasn't truly picked up the pace yet. For instance, prostitution is still on the lose, and women become men's sexual slaves in case of war. Women's role in reclaiming the human rights of women is particularly vital. (We are not underestimating the men's participation, of course.) Women worldwide must come together to correct the wrong impression people have about women and sex. In the case of Asian countries, we must work together with Japanese women and demand adequate compensation from the Japanese government.

We must exert international pressure upon Japan

    We must exert pressure on Japan at an international level. Japan has been trying to raise it's international status through dispatching Peace Keeper Operation(PKO) to Mozambique in 1993, the Republic of Zaire in 1994, Golan Plat. in 1996, East Timor in 1999, and Iraq in 2004 as well as economic aiding many underdeveloped countries. Japan has been eyeing a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council by making a good impression on other countries.
 But we must take into notice a couple of questionable acts Japan has committed before considering a permanent seat in the Council for Japan. The Japanese government issued condoms to PKO soldiers upon dispatching them to Cambodia. Japan, while dispatching PKO troops for humanitarian assistance, has been discreetly encouraging inhumane behavior. Also, Japan has yet to work out the comfort women issues, preferring to make excuses. Japan, to be considered eligible for a permanent seat in the Council, must solve these problems.
 Germany's continuous apology for Nazism has won Germany a favorable reputation. We must induce similar behavior from Japan by exerting international pressure.
