" Prostitutes 's problem" did not walk into the history  to eradicate completely the war in trample to female human rights. At Taiwan, it is a flock of to have ever been subjected to oppress the female to the protest.

"To Japan, the war is just a history, can be forgotten, but to us, the scar is never to forget
The only we want is dignity. I will live until the apology of Japan!"
1945 August 15th, the World War II has ended, 60 years passing by, Japanese government still not willing to apologize the policy for the Prostitute served in the army. Some Prostitutes（served in the army ）over 80 years old with a support group, they paraded to the Interchange association of Japanese in the day of world war II 's end. On the way the support people yelled out" grandma encourages! Japan apologizes!" But around the interchange association of Japanese, there have a lot of armed police to stop they keep on. In the end they represented by three grandma with few supporter to deliver the protest letter to the interchange association of Japanese
But interchange association of Japanese only represented by deputy secretary's to accept the letter.
The Prostitutes（served in the army ）are getting older, there has less and less Prostitutes（served in the army ）can attend at this protest activity every year, but Japanese government is still not willing to handle this international problem, They have less time to wait . When they was young, cheated by the Japanese soldier or captured to be Prostitutes（served in the army）, their youth was cover by a layer of shadow by the war. The Prostitutes（served in the army ）protest against the Japanese's guilt for 14 years. Grandma CHEN TAO said "Because the arbitrary of Japanese government, All of us doesn’t get the justice that should have, from Taiwan to Japan, Hope this is the last time ! ".Prostitute served in the army is one invasion of Japanese military action. Not just the personal question of Prostitutes（served in the army ）We should reinforce the history of Prostitute（served in the army ）'s problem and law to everyone, in place of, hurt the Prostitutes（served in the army ）again and again. According to the principle of the humanitarianism and human rights, Taiwanese government should fight for compensation to Japanese government
Not only depend on few old elders and supporters.
Today, Japan still has 23 school use dishonest historical lesson. NHK also cover the true facts.
Many people already refuse to watch NHK. But, when can we see the justice of history behind many protests and battle cry.
