Lolas' House: Filipino Women Living with War

More about the book

Focusing on the harrowing experiences of sixteen surviving Filipino "comfort women," this book unveils the brutal reality faced by over 1,000 women kidnapped by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It highlights the broader tragedy of 400,000 women across Asia forced into sexual slavery. M. Evelina Galang's extensive research began in the 1990s, capturing the voices of 173 "lolas" who bravely came forward after years of silence to seek acknowledgment and justice from the Japanese government.
