TAIPEI, Taiwan — The "comfort women" museum in Taipei has launched a push to have the Japanese government provide an apology and compensation for the WWII sex slavery. The call came on Sunday, the eve of today's International Memorial Day for Comfort Women. From now until Aug. 31, visitors to the Ama Museum in Datong District will be handed cards to write messages backing the campaign, AP reported. The organizers also want Japanese authorities to release all documents related to comfort women and for textbooks in the country to clearly and objectively explain the issue. Other comfort women came from South Korea, China, the Philippines and Indonesia.
