                  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.
