On March 8, Alliance for Truth about Comfort Women visited the Cabinet Office and Foreign Ministry of Japan to present a written appeal, and subsequently held a press conference at the Japan National Press Club. We are a liaison group working with such organizations as the Society for History Textbook Reform in order to resolve the comfort women problem.

This appeal to the government and press conference were undertaken in response to the final report of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women concerning the comfort women problem, which was presented to the Japanese government on March 7. The Alliance’s coordinators attended the meeting, including Chief Secretary Okano Toshiaki and Fujioka Nobukatsu, vice-chairmen of the Society for History Textbook Reform, Nishimura Koyu, a journalist, Fujiki Shunichi, Executive Director of the Secretariat in Japan for the Texas Daddy, and Fujii Mitsuhiko, representative of the Rom-pa Project.
