U.S. Representative Michael Honda of California, left, visits yesterday the House of Sharing in Gwangju, Gyeonggi, a home for surviving comfort women who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese colonial army during World War II. Honda played a leading role the 2007 unanimous adoption of a resolution by U.S. House of Representatives urging the Japanese government to make an official apology to the comfort women and to take responsibility for its action.
