Gun-Ja Kim halmoni passed away on the morning of July 23.

She was ninety-one year old and closed her eyes without witnessing Japanese acknowledging 

and apologizing for its legal responsibility for having forced her and the other victims into sexual slavery during the WWII.

She testified about the injuries she received at the US congressional hearing in 2007, 

playing an important role in getting the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the comfort women resolution.

She also donated over 200 million won she had saved from the compensations she received from the Korean government.

Now only 37 victims are still alive.

Unfortunately their time is running out.
