When Japanese P. M. Abe said there wasn’t enough evidence to prove Japanese Imperial Armies coerced 200,000 women and girls into WWII rape camps. I
wanted him to meet Liga ng mga Lolang Pilipina the League of Filipina Grandmothers (LILA Pilipina). They are
living evidence. So I created LABAN! Fight for Comfort Women! Now I connect FRIENDS OF the Lolas as they act their fight for justice. FRIENDS OF LOLAS supports the mission of the women of LILA
Pilipina and all “Comfort Women.” Read on. World War II "Comfort Women" are the 200,000 girls and women abducted by the Japanese Imperial Army during WWII forced to experience a life of systematic
assail and enslavement. They are now mostly in their 80's and they are dying. They were taken from Korea. China. Indonesia the Philippines and Taiwan. In the Philippines historians say there were
about 1000 girls abducted. LILA Pilipina is one of three major organizations of Filipina survivors. This blog is dedicated to LILA Pilipina and their advocates. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. Here's a
call to action from our sisters at GABNet. Gabriela is the grassroots feminist organization that worked hard to desire surviving "Comfort Women" in the
Philippines and to encourage the victims to come forward so they might speak for themselves and for all of us. They are the original sponsoring organization for LILA Pilipina and continue to be the
sponsoring organization for LILA Pilipina. GABNet is the United States extension of Gabriela. We know the lolas because of Gabriela. Please use your words in support. In peace solidarity and
