Philadelphia council resolution condemns Harvard professor for defending Japan's sexual slavery
Philadelphia council resolution condemns Harvard professor for defending Japan's sexual slavery
The Philadelphia City Council has adopted a resolution condemning a professor of Harvard University for describing victims of Japan's wartime sexual slavery as prostitutes in an academic paper. "On behalf of the survivors, and for women and girls around the world, we must continue to push back on dangerous attempts to minimize historical atrocities and ensure they never happen again," the resolution adopted Thursday said. The resolution was proposed by David Oh, a Korean American Republican member of the city council, Feb. 25, amid growing controversy over an article by J. Mark Ramseyer of Harvard Law School, which claimed former Korean sex slaves of the Japanese military had voluntarily entered into contracts for prostitution.
