description This article attempt to explore one of the most controversial postcolonial issues in East Asia: the case of former sex slaves of the Imperial Japanese Army. What was the system of the comfortwoman? Who were the kidnapped women? Why did they silence their traumatic memories for so many years? Why has the Japanese government a negative attitude? Through a historical andpolitical analysis, this work suggests that the internationalization of the conflict has shift the paradigm of cognition. The new Humanitarian feminism narrative repositions the claims in terms ofgender (integrity of women) and Human Rights. From this perspective, the case study is included asother violations of women during war time, and the universalization of woman rights. The trasnationalization of the controversy revitalizes the ongoing struggle while suggesting new politicalchallenges.
