Traffic in Asian Women.

In analyzing comfort women issues in such global contexts, Laura Hyun Yi Kang proposes taking "Asian women as method" and differentiates an intra-Asian from an inter-Asian approach, thereby denoting the nonunity of Asia and Asian women. This book offers a critical perspective for reassessing the issues of "comfort women", the sexual slavery system enforced by the Japanese military during World War II. Chapter 3 introduces the process through which the United Nations identified traffic in women and prostitution as a form of sexual slavery and how Asian women were featured in this discursive and institutional process.
