Japanese WWII Secrets
During its occupation of China/ Manchuria, the Japanese army committed such atrocities as the Rape of Nanjing. Unfortunately, this was to continue during World War II. Capturing young women and girls from its various territories, the Japanese sold the girls as sex slaves to the military, where the Rape of Nanjing was repeated a hundred times over. This dark secret was kept under the eyes of the world until recently, when this horrible act was shown to the world. Despite the fact that many people who were victims of this atrocity have testified that Japan ran military brothels, the Japanese Prime Minister not only refuses to apologize, but claims that the testimonies are not true. But the pained words of women scarred for life by this crime speak differently.

You might want to check out the library's Encyclopedia of World Slavery in the Reference section to see if there are any entries on this.

Due to this discovery, is it fair to assume that there are other atrocities occuring in the world kept out of media which exploit women? And, on the contrary, are there some events which the media play up and make seem like women are treated brutally and unjustly when it is actually just the culture?
