                      S. Korean activists formally launch rival "comfort women" foundation

                      Former "comfort women" forced to work in Japan's wartime military brothels attend the first general meeting of The Foundation for Justice and Remembrance for the Issue of Military Sexual Slavery, a foundation launched by a South Korean civic group supporting former comfort women, alongside members of the group in Seoul on June 9, 2016. The foundation emerged as a rival of one to be launched under the terms of a landmark deal reached between Japan and South Korea in 2015, as the group slammed the agreement, saying the deal does not reflect the victims' opinions.
