For peace and justice, against war and armament – Memorial Ceremony and Demonstration on 14. of August, 5:30 PM<\/p>\n
On the occasion of the 14th International Day of Remembrance for the \u201cComfort Women\u201d we are gathering at the Statue of Peace Ari for a memorial ceremony. August 14 is an important day in the fight against sexual violence in wars and armed conflicts. In 1991, Kim Hak-sun broke the silence and became the first survivor to speak publicly about sexual slavery and the so-called \u201ccomfort women\u201d system operated by the Japanese military. We honor her and all those affected and call for an end to sexual violence in wars and throughout the world.<\/p>\n
We will meet at 5:50 p.m. at the ZK\/U located at Siemensstra\u00dfe 27, 10551 Berlin.<\/p>\n
From there, we will march in a demonstration to the empty space where Ari used to be. It\u2019s an important focal point for the community, offering victims and their families a place of remembrance and inviting people of all ages to engage with the issue of sexual violence. We demand that Ari returns to her original location in Moabit! (Around 6:00 p.m., corner of Birkenstr. and Bremer Str.)<\/p>\n
Afterward, the Japanese Women\u2019s Initiative invites you to a guided tour of the exhibition \u201cBroken Silence\u2014Women Accuse Japan\u201d at the Museum der \u201cTrostfrauen\u201d (on Quizowstra\u00dfe 103, 10551 Berlin).<\/p>\n
Come join us to commemorate and demonstrate together, because<\/p>\n
WE WANT ARI BACK!<\/p>\n
For peace and justice, against war and armament.<\/p>\n
