Introduction: The Contemporary Relevance of an Issue

It is now more than twenty years since the issue of the ‘comfort women’ (inanfu 慰安婦) was made public in Korea and Japan when, in 1991, Kim Hak-sun (1924–1997) broke the wall of silence. She came forward as a former Korean ‘comfort woman’ to bear witness to her story before a packed hall in Tokyo. In December of the same year, she initiated legal action against the Japanese state to obtain an apology and compensation from its representatives.

Introduction : l’actualité d’une question

Cela fait aujourd’hui plus de 20 ans que la question des « femmes de réconfort » (ianfu慰安婦) a été portée devant le grand public en Corée et au Japon, lorsqu’en 1991, Kim Hak-sun (1924-1997)1 brisa le mur du silence. Elle vint en tant qu’ancienne « femme de réconfort » coréenne porter témoignage de son histoire face à une salle comble à Tôkyô. En décembre, la même année, elle intentait un procès contre l’État japonais, afin d’obtenir de ses représentants excuses et indemnités.
