Get involved in current actions to stop sexual violence in conflicts. To start, you might look at the UN Action Against Sexual Violence in Conflict (http://stoprapenow.org/) or consider participating in observances of International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict (un.org/en/events/elimination-of-sexual-violence-in-conflict/index.shtml).

In the film, we see one of several statues that have been placed outside Japanese embassies or other meaningful locations (statue of the sitting girl with the empty chair beside her). Create or commission your own public art honoring those who have been victims of or fought against sexual or gender-based violence. Discuss where the art should be exhibited and why. Use the art installation to spark conversations about the issue of militarized sexual violence.

Track the current status of Japanese apologies and reparations to the survivors in China and the Philippines, as well as South Korea and North Korea. Learn more about advocacy efforts to encourage officials to actively engage in the healing process and compensate survivors.
