VOICED : Tribunal de Corea del Sur ordena a Japón indemnizar a antiguas esclavas sexuales

A South Korean court ruled that Japan must compensate 12 South Korean women subjected to sexual slavery during WWII. Each victim or their family is to receive $91,000. The victims prioritize acknowledgment of Japan's wartime atrocities over financial compensation. This is the first civil case in South Korea against Japan regarding 'comfort women.' Historians estimate up to 200,000 women were forced into military brothels. Japan condemned the ruling, citing the 1965 treaty as resolving such issues, and denies direct responsibility, claiming civilians recruited the women.
