 Japanese Military's “Comfort Women” System by Larry Niksch, Specialist in Asian Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division, Congressional Research Service, April 3, 2007, 23 pgs. “The debate over coercion in the recruitment of comfort women in 2007 has obscured the broader issue of whether comfort women were in the system on a voluntarily or involuntarily basis. There is no doubt from the available evidence that most comfort women were in the system involuntarily if one defines involuntarily to include entering the system in response to deceptive recruitment.  There appears to have been little of a genuinely voluntarily nature to the system.” [Ed. This is an update of a report first issued April 10, 2006, 11 pgs. APP members who would like a copy of the first report please, contact us.]
