Japan said concerns being raised by the Filipino “comfort women” have been addressed by its government, including recognition of the Imperial Japanese Army’s atrocities and reparation claims.
In a statement, the Japanese Embassy in Manila made remarks on the various calls made by the surviving Filipino comfort women—or those who were sent to sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II—before Tokyo was due to present its human rights report for the Fourth Cycle of the United Nations’ Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights.
Their statement came when Manila Bulletin asked for their comment after the surviving Filipino women and the organization that is helping them fight for justice called on Japan to acknowledge its war crimes. Estelita Dy and Narcisa Claveria, two of the Filipino comfort women in their 90s, also dropped bouquets of flowers at the Japanese Embassy in Manila to stress their call.
