The section on comfort women in Korea comprises of mostly the work from Kim Kwi-ok. Her work estimates the number of women involved at around 120 to 240. She confirms that these comfort stations did exist, but she is not sure how these women were recruited into these stations. And she is the only scholar who did extensive research on the matter and her work has not been corroborated by other scholars. There might also be some political motivation as she presented her research in Japan. In contrast, there is almost universal consensus on Japanese and German cases of comfort women. |

Given the conjectural nature of much of the recruitment process and relatively small number of women involved when compared to German and Japanese cases of sexual slavery (around tens of thousands), it seems inappropriate to list her work under sexual slavery section along with Japanese and German cases where numbers involved are far greater with sure evidence of coercion. The section should be amended or deleted. |

Hi Imbored2013! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
The section on comfort women in Korea comprises of mostly the work from Kim Kwi-ok. Her work estimates the number of women involved at around 120 to 240. She confirms that these comfort stations did exist, but she is not sure how these women were recruited into these stations. And she is the only scholar who did extensive research on the matter and her work has not been corroborated by other scholars. There might also be some political motivation as she presented her research in Japan. In contrast, there is almost universal consensus on Japanese and German cases of comfort women.
Given the conjectural nature of much of the recruitment process and relatively small number of women involved when compared to German and Japanese cases of sexual slavery (around tens of thousands), it seems inappropriate to list her work under sexual slavery section along with Japanese and German cases where numbers involved are far greater with sure evidence of coercion. The section should be amended or deleted.
