Flyer with event information and he term "comfort women" is a disturbing euphemism that conceals the grave reality of the military's sexual violence perpetrated by the Japanese Empire within its occupied and colonized regions from 1931 to 1945. Today, the Girl Statue of Peace (2011), known as "pyeonghwaui sonyeosang" in Korean, has risen as a prominent and profoundly revered symbol of the activism seeking redress for "comfort women" in South Korea. This conversation delves into the transformation of the Girl Statue from a public monument into a cherished personal memento, taking various forms such as gifts, miniatures, and even tattoos. Headshot and image for the flyer are attached. The image of the statue can be captioned as: 작은 소녀상/Peace Statue/平和少女像, War and Women's Human Rights Museum, Seoul, South Korea
