Regular readers will know of my support for the cause of the Comfort Women, and my on going campaign to publicize their campaign. Please feel free to share any posting on this site with your friends and colleagues, and particularly those that relate to these courageous women.

Here is the accompanying text to the video:

It has been 67 years since the end of World War II, but its shadows still haunt those who survived it. 
 
Dozens of Philippine women say they were used as sex slaves by Japanese soldiers.  
 
Al Jazeera first reported the story of the "comfort women" five years ago.
 
As part of the "What Happened Next" series, Marga Ortigas revisited some of the women who are still waiting for justice in Manila.
