Although there have been efforts to bring the story of the comfort women forward to the Japanese government, few have received compensation or even an apology from the Japanese. Not nearly enough has been done to individually compensate the victims. It is necessary that a statue depicting the sorrow these women felt be made known to the public. For the women still alive, it should be a place where they can reflect and look back on how include a plaque that honors them for their bravery and inner strength. After all they gave you and lost for their country, it is the least that can be done.
