“Wow, That's Our Grandma!”
“Comfort women” refers to the exploitation of women and girls by the system of sexual slavery of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. While societal prejudice hindered most survivors’ disclosures, little research addresses family perspectives. This study explores the views of family members of Taiwanese survivors involved in the redress movement regarding survivors’ sexual victimization and public disclosures. We conducted in-depth int…
Intersectionality of early sexual trauma and aging in two Truku comfort women survivors' life trajectories
While existing literature has pointed out the effects of early sexual trauma on Indigenous comfort women survivors in Taiwan, the impact of the interplay of survivors’ sexual trauma with their multiple social locations on their life trajectories is rarely discussed. In this article, two Truku Indigenous survivors’ life stories are reconstructed to explore the effects of early-life sexual trauma and the social locations that shaped their life traj…
Remembering to forget
In 1994, during the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi, sexual violence was used as a powerful weapon of genocide, affecting an estimated 250,000–500,000 women and girls.

Taiwan’s Ama Museum, established in Taipei in 2016, was dedicated to commemorating Taiwanese comfort women. This study documents the museum’s curatorial approach between 2016 and 2018 at its original Dadaocheng site, focusing on how it embodied a human…
Walking out of the shadows

However, there is minimal research exploring how sexual trauma may have impacted comfort women survivors' experiences of motherhood, alongside the consequences of survivors' experiences on subsequent generations. This arti…
