She was one of an estimated 200,000 women and girls taken by the Japanese military during World War II. She was 14 years old. What they did to her had no name she could say out loud. When the war ended the Japanese military left them behind - no acknowledgement, no apology, no record that any of it had happened. As if they had never existed.
She stayed silent for 50 years. In 1992 she finally broke that silence. Testified publicly for the first time. Then again. And again. In 2007 she stood before the United States Congress and described what had been done to her at 14 years old.The room went silent. She filed lawsuit after lawsuit against the Japanese government. Courts dismissed her. She appealed. More courts dismissed her. She kept going.
In November 2023 the Seoul High Court ruled in her favour.Japan was ordered to pay compensation. A crime against humanity - finally recognised in law. Her name is Lee Yong-soo. She is 97 years old. And she is still fighting.

Every freedom you have as a woman was earned through the sacrifice of women who came before you. You didn’t inherit these rights by luck. Someone marched, protested, and paid a price for them.

reform wanting to demolish something literally called the EQUALITY act should really tell you all you need to know

Why not do something original and give it to one of the 150 UK universities that aren’t Oxford or Cambridge?
