“My Mother is More Than a Comfort Woman” features four short narratives on “comfort women” survivors in the Philippines. The book is presented in three languages— Filipino, English, and Japanese.
Comfort women were the victims of the Japanese military’s sexual slavery system during World War II.
“There is an urgent need to find an alternative way to convey the legacy of the Lolas. Since many Lolas spoke up in the early 1990s, they have continued fighting for justice, sharing their wartime experiences, and protesting against wards in order to avoid generation of ‘comfort women’,” wrote the Storybook Project Team.

The trauma of war leaves scars that burn long after the conflict has receded and everyone else has forgotten.
Moreover, the government’s invalidation of wartime narratives — of atrocity, of injustice — is enough to reopen old wounds.
But every now and then, an instance of solidarity comes to soothe and salve the pain.
A new book serves as a literal example of art that comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.
My Mother is More Than a Comfort Woman is a 63-page storybook complete with illustrations that features four short narratives on Filipino “comfort women” survivors known as “Lolas.”
