Kono Statement : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kono Statement
The Kono Statement refers to a statement released by Chief Cabinet Secretary Yohei Kono on August 4, 1993 after the conclusion of the government study that found that the Japanese Imperial Army had forced women, known as comfort women, to work in military-run brothels during World War II. The Japanese government had denied that the women had been coerced until this point. ==Description== In the Kono Statement, Kono acknowledged that "The then Japanese military was, directly or indirectly, involved in the establishment and management of the comfort stations" and "The recruitment of the comfort women was conducted mainly by private recruiters who acted in response to the request of the military." In addition, as the Kono Statement articulates, "in many cases they were recruited against their own will, through coaxing, coercion, etc.", "at times, administrative/military personnel directly took part in the recruitments.", and "They lived in misery at comfort stations under a coercive atmosphere."〔()〕 His subsequent call for historical research and education aimed at remembering the issue became the basis for addressing the subject of forced prostitution in school history textbooks. It also led to the creation of the Asian Women's Fund, which provided aid and support to women who had been forced into prostitution during the war.
