In this Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017 photo, college student Choi Hye Ryeon, left, sits with others in a tent made of plastic sheets to protect a statue of a girl representing thousands of Korean women enslaved for sex by Japan’s imperial forces before and during World War II, during a rally in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. “Whenever I see the statue, I think about how that could have been me if I’d been born during those times,” said Choi.
