An in-depth discussion of the trafficking, rape and exploitation of Asian comfort women during World War II, including an examination of last year’s controversy surrounding Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe’s denial of the existence of comfort women. Grassroots activism that led to the passage of U.S. House Resolution 121,  a congressional resolution stating that Japan should formally apologize and accept historical responsibility for comfort women - and the significance of such activism for Asian American community empowerment will be a centerpiece of this discussion.
