Former "comfort women" protest over Philippines-Japan military deal

Narcisa Claveria, 85, a former Filipino "comfort woman," speaks at a protest on March 1, 2016, in front of the Japanese Embassy in Manila against enhanced military cooperation between the Philippines and Japan, which signed a bilateral agreement the previous day to allow Japan to transfer defense equipment and technology to the Philippines. The "comfort women," a euphemism for women procured for Japanese military brothels during World War II, continue to seek justice from the Japanese government. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
