But whilst the South Korean government continues commendably to stand up for its victims of sexual abuse in conflict, its approach is in stark contrast to how it has so far responded to allegations of sexual violence against its own military personnel. We urge our good friends in South Korea to recognise and investigate the allegations of sexual violence against their soldiers. Let’s work together to finally bring an end to the suffering of the Lai Dai Han, stand up for the victims of sexual violence and do what is morally right. Recognition by South Korea and an independent investigation will not only bring closure for the victims, but also increase citizens’ faith in justice systems, taking us one step closer to eradicating the practice of sexual violence in conflict for good.
