Initially, Jugun Ianfu itself was divided into 3 recruitments. First , voluntary: where Japanese women themselves voluntarily became part of Jugun Ianfu because they felt it was a devotion to the country. Second, the lure of a better future: where Korean, Chinese and Malay women eventually became victims because of the guise of getting a decent education and a bright future. Third , coercion: yes, Indonesian women accepted that bitter thing.
The women the soldiers were looking for were young girls who were not yet able to protect themselves.
Reading the confession of the late Ibu Mardiyem, I don't dare even imagine how bitter that time was. What they did was truly despicable.
Can you describe what it's like to live in a town known for Harley Davidson motorcycles?
In one day, Mardiyem was even forced to serve up to 6 men until she started bleeding.
One day a posture visited Rita's house and told her parents about Jugun Ianfu. The posture suggested that Rita cut her hair short to resemble a man, of course because she wanted to protect Rita.
After Japan lost the war, Rita returned to life as a young woman. She married and had four children.

If I do not dare to expose myself in the international world to deal with jugun ianfu , then jugun ianfu will never get justice. I am tired of being mocked. I want everyone, especially the younger generation, to know everything. Not just bits and pieces; so that they know and understand that being jugun ianfu is not what we want and that we are not prostitutes.
It was a nightmare for women colonized by Japan during
I will tell you some of the stories of Jugun Ianfu who have hurt the psychology and physical of several Indonesian women. The horror of adolescence colored by empty spaces like prisons.

Despite her old age, she continued to fight for the rights of Jugun Ianfu women. Representing her fellow women, she fought for justice, demanding that the Japanese government apologize officially and personally and provide compensation to the women who became "lust slaves" of the Japanese army during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia.
At the age of 9, Sri Sukanti was forced to serve Ogawa—a squad commander. At the same time, little Sri Sukanti was taken to Ogawa's residence to carry out his depraved actions.
Sri Sukanti was repeatedly injected with contraceptive pills in her left hip and the long-term impact was that she was unable to have children.
But the sad part did not end immediately. Until the end of her life, what she fought for was not realized. To survive the rest of her life, the Jugun Ianfu only relied on donations from volunteers.
After Rita's appearance changed, and her name changed to Richard to make the disguise look perfect, in mid-February 1943, Japan cleared Jambi. All Dutch citizens (at that time Rita was of Indo-Dutch descent) were herded for questioning at a police station under Japanese supervision.

Jugun Ianfu .
There may be many more women who witnessed the cruelty of Jugun Ianfu in Indonesia, but their names are never known. Even the victims of Jugun Ianfu themselves are estimated to reach 20,000 to 30,000. Reading this historical story has a special place in me. A bitter story that even when I asked my friends, many of them did not know. I remember a film that tells the same story.
I had to continue my disguise as a boy for a very long time.
With all my might I tried to fight to escape. But, the grip of the strong and muscular man's hand became stronger. My body was lifted up to the edge of the bed, even pushed against the wall. I was sad and it hurt so much.
We want to protect you from soldiers who want to take advantage of young girls like you.
My father fainted when he saw me being taken. He thought he was going to kill me. When the Japanese took me, they invited me to sleep, stroked my buttocks.
