A lifetime later, a Korean 'comfort woman' still seeks redress

(CNN)Kim Bok-dong is 89 now, and is going blind and deaf. She knows her health is fading, and she can no longer walk unassisted. But her eyes burn bright with a passion borne of redressing her suffering of a lifetime ago.
She enters a meeting of Tokyo foreign correspondents in a wheelchair, visibly exhausted after a flight from Seoul and days of interviews and meetings.
The nightmares from five years as a sex slave of the Japanese army, from 1940 onwards, are still crystal clear. Kim is determined to share her story with anyone who will listen, until she's no longer physically able.
"My only wish is to set the record straight about the past. Before I die," Kim says.

Nightmare begins

Kim was a 14-year-old girl when the Japanese came to her village in Korea. She says they told her she had no choice but to leave her home and family to support the war effort by working at a sewing factory.
"There was no option not to go," she recalls. "If we didn't go, we'd be considered traitors,"

Instead of going to a sewing factory, Kim says she ended up in Japanese military brothels in half a dozen countries. Along with about 30 other women, she says she was locked in a room and forced to do things no teenage girl -- no woman -- should ever have to do.
Kim describes seemingly endless days of soldiers lined up outside the brothel, called a "comfort station."
Often they were so close to the front lines, they could hear the battles of World War Two happening all around them.
