Why don't we found a strategic basis to record and bear in mind the facts of what military forces did against women and how cruelly they were damaged during wartime, and let a peaceful future without violence come true?

This has been dreamed of by many women since victimized comfort women surfaced in the early 1990s in various Asian countries. Then soon sued to start trial, and support was extended to help them meet daily needs in the meantime.

Wam started with five action targets to bring this dream into reality:Focus on wartime violence, declaring that justice free from any gender bias shall be universally applied;
Gather and exhibit data on individual victims, clarifying who is totake responsibility for such victimization;
Create an action basis to realize a peaceful and non-violence future; Produce a people's movement without depending on any state power;Take action to enable cross-border solidarity.

We are planning now to annually hold two or three exhibitions of collected and well-classified data by theme which has been scattered or abandoned. The action museum movement is such that we meet with the existence and life of an individual woman who has survived sexual violence, and we learn from and think together and discuss taking action with her. Post-war Japan has been silent about her own war responsibility, for which she is under accusation by a lot of Asian countries. This is all the more why much importance and necessity must be attached to the Women's Active Museum on War and Peace.
