Comfort women

military sexual slavery system designed and implemented by Japan Empire from early 1930s until the end of World War II, or the victims who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military

Kisaeng (), also called ginyeo (), were enslaved women from outcast or enslaved families who were trained to be courtesans, providing artistic entertainment and conversation to men of upper class. First emerging in the Goryeo dynasty, were officially sanctioned by the state and employed in various public functions. While many worked in royal courts, others were stationed throughout the provinces.
