A comfort woman is someone who was forced into prostitution by a military or totalitarian government. This term usually refers to South Korean women so used by the Japanese during the Second World War. However, North Korean women are being used this way by the Chinese and Koreans today because the dictatorship they live under reduces them to an "undesirable" status and/or hunger.
This report talks about sexual torture in North Korea. (WARNING: it is very disturbing and graphic).
Yet- for some reason- there are people who would prefer that communism (the system that the North Koreans languish under) is not mentioned.
