‘Comfort women’ photo exhibit in Nanjing   

日本民间团体将在南京举办日军性暴力图片展

由日本多家民间团体组成的“日军性暴力图片展”执行委员会11月26日宣布，将于11月29日至12月8日，在南京师范大学举办日军性暴力图片展。这是2009年以来，此团体在中国第5个城市举办该图片展。

Tokyo (CNS) -- A photo exhibition revealing the sexual violence carried out by the Japanese military during the Second World War will open in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province, on Nov. 29, the show's organizing committee said on Monday.

The exhibit uncovers the origins and practice of forcing females to act as "comfort women" and includes investigations by Japanese non-governmental organizations and scholars.

People tend to avoid the topic, the committee said, so this exhibition will show the facts as well as the efforts made to retrieve the women's dignity.

The petitions of the female victims should never be forgotten, and war and sexual violence should never be repeated, the committee said.

The Nanjing exhibition will run until December 8. It has already been held in Wuxiang (Shanxi Province), Guangzhou, Beijing and Xi'an.
