Over 100 South Korean women have filed a lawsuit against the United States, accusing it of abuse and sexual exploitation during the period 1950-1980.

Women who were forced to prostitute themselves for American soldiers between 1950 and 1980 are seeking compensation and apologies from the U.S. military. In 2022, a South Korean court recognized the government's involvement in managing the brothels, ordering compensation for the victims. Now, 117 women have officially accused the U.S. military, demanding accountability for their suffering. The lawsuit targets both the South Korean government and the U.S. military authorities, in the context of a history of abuse and neglect of women's rights.
