Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Japan and South Korea have agreed a deal to settle the issue of “comfort women” who were forced to work as prostitutes in Japanese brothels during World War Two. Japan has apologised and will pay 1bn yen ($8.3m; £5.6m) into a government-administered fund to aid the surviving women. Up to 200,000 women were used to provide sex for Japanese soldiers during WW2, many of them Korean.
