Noriko Sekiguchi, an anthropologist in Australia, is studying the consequences of the sexual exploitation of women during the Second World War. On the basis of her interviews, she retraces the experiences of the women from a Papua village in New Guinea, who were given over to the Japanese soldiers, as well as of Korean and Japanese women obliged to prostitute themselves under the pressure of the army.
