Description
Help us show a warm welcome to 89-year old activist and “comfort woman” survivor Gil Won Ok as she visits Toronto for the premiere of Toronto-based filmmaker Tiffany Hsiung’s new film on Japanese military sexual slavery during the Asia-Pacific War/WWII, “The Apology,” premiering at HotDocs 2016.
The panel discussion will explore the history and activism of the “comfort women” while making links to colonial and militarized sexual violence in other contexts.
We look forward to learning from local feminist and community organizations at this event in order to build ongoing transnational solidarity in the quest to end systemic violence against women.
