| Headword 1 | 慰安婦 |

| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | sex slave |
| Comment | Perhaps this one is a matter of opinion as to how it translates into English. If I may offer my opinion, though, I think "army prostitute" is misleading. It implies that the said women provided sexual services voluntarily in exchange for money, which was certainly not the case. They were kidnapped and repeatedly gang-raped during their captivity. My suggestion is that the translation be changed from "army prostitute" to "sex slave" or some other term that more accurately describes their lot. |
