The focus of the Vagina Monologues this year is comfort women and the women of Taiwan have joined forces and are speaking out against these war crimes. They are showing a film and photo exhibit about the women used as sexual slaves during Japanese occupation.

This year the Spotlight Campaign is focusing on comfort women around the world.

Historians estimate 200,000 women, from Korea, the Philippines, China, Indonesia and the Netherlands were pressed into wartime prostitution for millions of Japanese soldiers stationed throughout Asia. Some former comfort women said they were forced to service up to 50 soldiers in a day.

"We are celebrating the fierce spirit and resistance of these women," Ensler has been quoted as saying. "The comfort women are now speaking out. It is a celebration of them."
