'Comfort women' statue in Seoul

SEOUL, South Korea - A statue of a seated young Korean girl in traditional costume is set up in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul on Dec. 14, 2011, by a South Korean civic group demanding an apology and compensation from the Japanese government over the ''comfort women'' issue. The term is a euphemism to describe women forced to provide sexual services for Japanese soldiers during World War II. The chair next to the statue is for people who visit the site. (Kyodo)
