Horrible Sex Industry Designed for American Soldiers

S Korean ‘solace ladies’ reflect lawful activity over sexual maltreatment by US forces; as Dozens of South Korean sex slaves, or “comfort women,” say they will sue the United States for being raped and beaten by American soldiers stationed in the country as part of an agreement between the military officials of the two countries to work as sex slaves.

The New York Times, based in the United States, reported this week that the victims’ plan to take their complaint to US courts came after they won a significant legal victory in South Korea for the sexual trauma they had suffered at the hands of the large number of American troops stationed there.

The South Korean government worked with the sexual bondage of many Korean ladies, who were constrained or attracted into the fierce sex exchange, by confining them into extraordinary camp towns close to US army installations long after The Second Great War, when Japanese fighters used to physically mishandle Korean young ladies as what they alluded to as “solace ladies.”

“Yet, the sexual abuse of one more gathering of ladies went on in South Korea long after Japan’s pioneer rule finished in 1945 — and it was worked with by their own administration,” as per the Everyday. In the postbellum years, a significant number of these ladies worked in gijichon, or “camp towns,” worked around US Army installations.

In September of last year, the landmark judgment handed out by the South Korean Supreme Court to 100 women found the government guilty of “justifying and encouraging” prostitution in camp towns to support the peninsular nation’s military alliance with the United States and earn dollars from the United States.

It also attributed the women’s “systematic and violent” detention and forced treatment for sexually transmitted diseases to the government. In addition, the court ordered them to be compensated for the sexual abuse they suffered while in slavery.

“The victims and their relatives now aim to take their case to the US, though their legal strategy there is unclear, as is what recourse they may find,” the report added, “encouraged by the ruling.”

Park Geun-ae, who was 16 when she was sold to a pimp and claims she was subjected to severe beatings and other forms of abuse from soldiers, said, “The Americans need to know what some of their soldiers did to us.” “Our country held hands with the US in an alliance and we knew that its soldiers were here to help us, but that didn’t mean that they could do whatever they wanted to us, did it?”

American soldiers were found guilty of killing 11 sex workers in South Korea between 1960 and 2004 in a report by the advocacy group Saewoomtuh.

As a result of the Korean War that lasted from 1950 to 1953, there are currently over 28,500 American troops stationed in South Korea.

As per the report, prostitution was and stays unlawful in South Korea, yet authorization has been particular and changed in brutality after some time. The women were confined in camp towns to make them easier to monitor and to stop US soldiers from engaging in prostitution and other sex crimes from spreading to the general public. As South Koreans demanded foreign currency and goods smuggled out of the US military following exchange operations, black markets flourished there.

The report also explained, citing unsealed documents and former comfort women, that women in the camp towns were required to wear numbered badges or name tags and carry registration and VD test cards under guidelines developed by South Korean officials and the US military.

A few casualties were seized as youngsters and constrained into the fierce sexual bondage. According to the women who spoke with The Times, in an effort to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, they were kept in facilities with locked windows and given a lot of penicillin. Additionally, they claimed that they witnessed colleagues succumb to penicillin shock and die.

According to declassified US military documents, when the US military and South Korean officials met in 1973 to discuss issues in camp towns, a US Army officer stated that the Army’s policy on prostitution was “total suppression” but “this is not being done in Korea.”

Instead, the US military focused on preventing venereal disease among troops. The women told how they went to monthly classes where South Korean officials called them “dollar-earning patriots” and US officers told them to stay away from STIs. The ladies must be tried two times per week; those who had positive tests were held in custody for treatment.

The so-called “me too” movement in recent years was sparked by a large number of women who had been forced to offer sexual favors to corporate executives and other senior officers in order to secure employment opportunities. This report provides additional evidence of how brutally women have been treated and sexually abused throughout the American military establishments as well as the country’s corporate world.
