Seventy seven year old Maria Quilantang

Seventy seven year old Maria Quilantang (R) gestures as she and other Filipinas who were formerly forced to work as 'comfort women' by Japanese soldiers during World War II, stage a protest in front of the Japanese embassy in Manila on March 9, 2009 to demand justice and an apology from the Japanese government. International human rights watchdog Amnesty International claims that there are up to 200,000 women that have been believed to be forced into sexual servitude by the Japanese Imperial army during the World War II. Parliaments around the world passed similar resolutions calling for an official apology and compensation from Japan to the victims, the group added.
