（1）Survivor’s Portraits

As you enter, the pictures of the women victims of the Japanese Military Sexual Violence welcome you. They are over 150 women (as March, 2008) who gave us their permission to share their pictures, names and the experiences with people who visit the WAM. Be sure to look at the chronology of the history of “Comfort Women” before, during and after the War.

One or Two Special Exhibitions are held every year with the topics related to the “Comfort Women” issue. The regular exhibition includes panels on the Women’s International War Crimes Tribunal held in 2000 and a map of the “Comfort Stations” all over Asia.
