Former Congressman Mike Honda supports providing education on the history and issues of “comfort women.” He played a major role in the effort to bring justice to former military sex slaves by helping pass House Resolution 121 in 2007. Here, he is making a heart with his arm for survivor Yong-Soo “Grandma” Lee.
