In the admissions of 1992 and 1993, Japanese government officials stated that the government would try to assist surviving comfort women.
The government’s response was the Asian Women’s Fund, which the government of Socialist Prime Minister Murayama Tomiichi
set up and which came into being on July 19, 1995.
The Asian Women’s Fund announced three programs for former comfort women who applied for assistance: (1)
an atonement fund that paid two million yen (approximately $20,000) to each former comfort woman; (2)
medical and welfare support programs for former comfort women,
paying 2.5-3 million yen ($25,000-$30,000) for each former comfort woman; and (3) a letter of apology from the Japanese Prime Minister to each recipient woman. [8]
The South Korean government announced a compensation plan for surviving former comfort women on March 29, 1993,
that would pay the equivalent of $6,400 and a monthly payment of $250 to each woman. [15]
However, after the Asian Women’s Fund was established, the government and South Korean NGOs used the government’s
fund as a tool to pressure and dissuade former Korean comfort women from accepting payments and other assistance from the Asian Women’s Fund.
The South Korean government took an immediate position against the Asian Women’s Fund
when the Fund made atonement payments to seven South Korean women in January 1997.
The government officially expressed displeasure to the Japanese government over the Asian Women’s Fund and demanded that the Japanese government pay direct compensation.
The South Korean government also supported the similar stance taken by the leading Korean NGOs claiming to represent former Korean comfort women:
the Korea Council for Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by Japan.
