Comfort Station - Ianjo

...Women who were placed under the supervision of the Japanese military in battlefields and occupied territories during the 15-year war and were forced to have sexual relations with soldiers and military personnel. At the time, they were called "military comfort women," but after the war, this term became popular due to the use of "military comfort women" by Katsuki Senda and others.
