A presente investigação tem como objetivo analisar os motivos que influenciaram o silêncio das Mulheres de Conforto de nacionalidade coreana, sobre o prisma dos movimentos feministas coreanos que estudaram as atrocidades cometidas pelo Japão durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945).
Através do estudo do período colonial japonês na península coreana (1905-1945) e da emergência do sistema de conforto, procedemos à análise dos fatores que motivaram os movimentos feministas sul-coreanas na mobilização de recursos para a defesa e apoio das Mulheres de Conforto após a democratização do país a partir dos finais de 1980s. Para o efeito, recorremos à análise de fontes secundárias e a uma visita a Seul para contacto direto com movimentos feministas que apoiam as Mulheres Conforto bem como para uma entrevista com uma sobrevivente do Sistema de Conforto estabelecido pelo Japão durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Esta investigação permite concluir que a mobilização dos movimentos feministas sul-coreanos influenciou positivamente a quebra do silêncio das mulheres que sobreviveram ao Sistema de Conforto e que têm conseguido conquistar atenção e espaço junto da sociedade coreana e internacional, utilizando as suas experiências como argumento de defesa dos direitos das mulheres no mundo.

Through the study of the Japanese colonial period in Korea (1905-1945) and emergence of the Comfort Women System, we proceed to the analysis of the factors that motivated the influence of the feminist movements for the Korean Comfort Women to mobilize the necessary resources in order to break these women’s silence following the country´s democratization by the end of the 1980s. Therefore, we have proceeded to the analysis of secondary resources as well as a visit to Seoul for direct contact with feminist movements working with Comfort Women and an interview with a survivor of the Comfort System set by Japan in Asia during the Second World War. This investigation allowed us to conclude that the mobilization of the South Korean feminist movements has contribute to provide a positive influence in the end of the silence by women survivors of the Comfort System who have been able to conquer the attention and space in the domestic and international arena and use their testimonies to argue in favor of women rights in the world.
