Description
Recent revelations about Korean comfort women forced into prostitution by the Japanese army during World War II, and of the routine rape of Muslim women by Serbian soldiers in Bosnia, have focused international media attention on the horrors faced by women during war. But even in peacetime, the exploitation of women by military forces continues. Rarely mentioned in the press or in political debate are the hundreds of thousands of Asian women living around US military bases and working in economies built on the sale of sex.
