"Ianfu" is a term that refers to women who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese army during World War II. However, there are other words that can be used as synonyms for "ianfu", such as comfort women, which is a more common and widely-used term. Other synonyms include military sex slaves, wartime sex slaves, and sexual slavery victims. Despite the different terms, these women all share a common history of being exploited and victimized by a brutal wartime practice that was unfortunately all too common at the time. It is important to acknowledge these women's struggles and help bring their stories to light.
