Song Sin-Do

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Song Sin-do is a Korean former comfort woman currently living and campaigning in Japan for an official apology from the Japanese government. She also recognises the need for the history of comfort women to be taught in Japanese schools to prevent a recurrence of the situation. Song Sin-do escaped a forced marriage at the age of 16 years old. She found her escape in signing up to assist on the Japanese front line, however, like many thousands of young Korean and Chinese girls who believed they would work in factories or as nurses' assistants, Song Sin-do was taken to a comfort house to work as a sexual slave for seven years. During this time Song was forced to give away two babies to local families and beaten repeatedly.
