Although it has been 30 years since the issue of ‘Comfort Women’ drafted into the Japanese forces was raised and its problem-solving efforts were started, an agreement on the concept and category of ‘Comfort Women’ drafted into the Japanese forces has not been reached between researchers, activists and the authorities concerned.

It is asserted in this article that priority consideration will be given to the historical peculiarities of ‘Comfort Women’ drafted into the Japanese forces issue as a ‘system’ in order to set up the concept and category of ‘Comfort Women’ drafted into the Japanese forces, which is not to blur the victims of sexual violences during the war but to examine how repressed the human right of women were and they were sexually instrumentalized frequently crossing the legal and illegal during the War in the Pacific by showing the spectrum of the wartime sexual assaults committed by the Japanese forces. It will be possible to seek the solutions in consideration of their respective peculiarities along with the examination of their causes in the fundamental dimensions of the wartime sexual violences which are considered as the issue of the common sexual slaves after the definition is made on the basis of the historical facts of ‘Comfort Women’ drafted into the Japanese forces utilized in the framework of the permission through the regulations of the Japanese governments and Japanese forces.
