Since September 2020, the Statue of Peace of the Korea Association Berlin (Korea Verband) has stood in Berlin’s Moabit district as a reminder of the fate of the so-called comfort women during the Second World War. While the monument was erected in memory of the girls and women who were sexually enslaved by the Japanese military at the time, it has since become an international symbol against sexual violence as a weapon of war – going beyond its historical context.

Immediately after its installation, the Japanese government’s attempt to remove the Statue of Peace made headlines. In October 2020, organised protests by civil society saved the statue from being disassembled. Now Ari is under threat again.
