who were forced to work as sex slaves for Japanese soldiers during World War II. Representatives of colleges and citizens however declared this agreement inadequate. Eunhye Choi, president of the student body of Ewha Womans University, declared "The voice of the victims was excluded" and "There wasn't an apology from Japan. It is a disgraceful agreement. Comfort women victims desired to be made clear about responsibility for forced mobilized labour at national level, formal apology, legal compensation, recording on textbook and punishment. So that the same thing and victimization would not occur again in this land." Student demonstrations were held at Kyonggi University at Seoul, Kyunghee University, Korea University, Dongguk University, Busan College of Education, Pusan National University, Sogang University, Seoul National University, Sungshin Women’s University, Sejong University, Yonsei University, Ewha Womans University, Hakuk University of Foreign Studies, Hanyang University, and Hongik University with attendees including 25 student body presidents and 250 national university student unions. Activists, including many students, staged various protests against the agreement as late as January 2016. 2016 protests See also Hanchongryun References Student politics Social movements in South Korea Korean independence movement Protests in Korea 20th century in South Korea 21st century in South Korea Political repression in South Korea South Korean democracy movements
