This magnificent statue in the Philippines symbolized the Filipina Comfort Women, women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Army in World War II. However, the female statue was removed in 2018. The comfort women statue caused tension between the Philippines and Japan. In response, it is said that the Philippine government ordered the statue's removal in order to maintain good relations. Remember that these comfort women were forcefully taken from their homes and communities experiencing daily abuse. The removal of the comfort woman statue was like a betrayal to the comfort woman survivors and their families, who had waited for decades for justice and recognition.
