SUMMARY:80th WWII Anniversary: Remember “Comfort Women”  
DESCRIPTION:<p><span lang="EN-US">On the 80th Anniversary of the end of WWII, we honor the history and legacy of the “comfort women,” the hundreds of thousands of women and girls who were sexually enslaved by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Pacific War. The survivors are also called the “grandmas.” Although most of them perished, those who did survive became spokespeople for women’s rights and were instrumental in changing International Law, making sexual slavery and sexual violence during war a crime against humanity and a war crime.&nbsp;This exhibition, with photos and original artwork by the survivors, highlights the “grandmas” history, activism and their ongoing struggle for redress and justice.</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><strong>Related Events:&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="https://sfpl.org/events/2025/09/26/social-opening-reception">80th WWII Anniversary: Remember "Comfort Women" Opening Reception&nbsp;</a></p><p lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><strong>Connect:&nbsp;</strong></span><span>&nbsp;</span></p><p lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"></span><a href="https://remembercomfortwomen.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span lang="EN-US">Comfort Women Justice Coalition Website</span></a><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></p><p lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p lang="EN-US">&nbsp;</p><h6><span lang="EN-US">The views and opinions expressed in exhibitions presented by groups unaffiliated with SFPL do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of SFPL or the City.</span><span>&nbsp;</span></h6><p><span lang="EN-US"></span><span>&nbsp;</span></p>
