An Arizona woman participated in a scheme to help North Korean information technology workers pose as U.S. citizens so they could apply for remote work positions at Americans companies, federal prosecutors said Thursday as they unsealed charges against the woman and several others.
Chapman allegedly worked with Oleksandr Didenko, 27, of Kyiv, Ukraine, as part of the scheme. Didenko allegedly carried out a multi-year scheme to create accounts at U.S.-based freelance IT job search platforms and with U.S. money service transmitters in the name of false identities, the DOJ said in its statement. Those accounts were then sold to the overseas IT workers, who used the identities to apply for remote work positions.
Several months ago, a longtime neighbor approached me and began to berate me for being married to a Black woman. She is an immigrant herself and, before that interaction, I would never have guessed that she was against such a union.
I have been interested by Korean society and history for many years now. I speak Korean and have visited South Korea before. The more I learnt the more I realised how shallow our understanding of Korea is in Europe. Often, all we know is that Korea was separated in two after the Korean War [1950-1953] and that the North has a communist regime. However, Korean history is much older and much more complex than that, and it has a lot to offer to anyone willing to learn.
I am not here however to give you a summary of Korean history, it would be reductive and simplifying. Instead, I would like to mention some of the remarkable women who have made history. First, I would like to preface by highlighting the fact that Korean history has suffered the same fate as European history, where women and their contributions have been ignored, suppressed, or forgotten and the women represented in this article are some of many more brilliant Korean women.
During Joseon dynasty [1392-1919] Shin Saimdang was mainly remembered as the ideal Confucian mother, having raised the Confucian scholar Yi I (이이). However, her talent as a painter is undeniable and she is one of the famous famous female painter in Korea. Her most popular paintings are ones of flowers and nature, with delicate and precise brush strokes and bright colours. She also was a calligrapher and writer. Shin Saimdang is the only woman to appear on Korean money as her face is on the 50 000 won bill. However, portraits of women were rare during the Joseon dynasty and therefore the face shown on the bill is only a guess at what she would have looked like.
Kwon Ki-ok is the first Korean female aviator, and one of the first female pilots in China. After her involvement in the Korean independence movement, Known Ki-ok went into exile in China. As a teenage girl she dreamed of flying and once in China, though she had to learn a new language and was going against all gender conventions, she managed to enter of the Republic of China Air Force. After Korea was liberated in 1945, Kwon Ki-ok went back to her country and helped the creation of the Republic of Korea Air Force.
Dr. Soyeon Yi loved science from a young age and achieved great academic success in that field. She was completing her Ph. D when the Korean government announce they would start their own astronaut program and one Korean astronaut could go to the International Space Station. Even though opinions around her were divided, Dr. Soyeon Yi did not hesitate to apply and, once selected, left from Russia to train. In April 2008, Dr. Soyeon Yi traveled into space, becoming the first Korean citizen to do so. Dr. Soyeon Yi is an example of determination and tenacity, and someone to look up to for every woman entering a male dominated field.
This is a wonderful resource. I was trying to find some literature for a young Korean girl (now aged 6) living in Canada. Any recommendations for books and posters for children about the inspiring women of Korea are welcome! Than you!
Comfort women were women and girls forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces in occupied countries and territories before and during World War II.[2][3][4][5] The term comfort women is a translation of the Japanese ianfu (ja:慰安婦),[6] which literally means "comforting, consoling woman".[7] During World War II, Japanese troops forced hundreds of thousands of women from Australia, Burma, China, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, East Timor, New Guinea and other countries into sexual enslavement for Japanese troops; however, the majority of the women were from Korea.[8] Many women died or died by suicide due to brutal mistreatment and sustained physical and emotional distress. After the war, Japan's acknowledgment of the comfort women's plight was minimal, lacking a full apology and appropriate restitution, which damaged Japan's reputation in Asia for decades. Only in the 1990s did the Japanese government begin to officially apologize and offer compensation. However, apologies from Japanese officials have been criticized as insincere.[9][10]
Comfort houses were first established in Shanghai after the Shanghai incident in 1932 as a response to wholesale rape of Chinese women by Japanese soldiers.[30] Yasuji Okamura, the chief of staff in Shanghai, ordered the construction of comfort houses to prevent further rape.[30] After the rapes of many Chinese women by Japanese troops during the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, the Japanese forces adopted the general policy of creating comfort stations in various places in Japanese occupied Chinese territory, "not because of their concern for the Chinese victims of rape by Japanese soldiers but because of their fear of creating antagonism among the Chinese civilians."[30] To staff the establishments, Japanese prostitutes were imported from Japan.[31] Japanese women were the first victims to be enslaved in military brothels and trafficked across Japan, Okinawa, Japan's colonies and occupied territories, and overseas battlegrounds.[32] According to Yoshiaki Yoshimi, comfort stations were established to avoid criticism from China, the United States of America and Europe following the case of massive rapes between battles in Shanghai and Nanjing.[33]
In the early stages of World War II, Japanese authorities recruited prostitutes through conventional means. In urban areas, conventional advertising through middlemen was used alongside kidnapping. Middlemen advertised in newspapers circulating in Japan and in the Japanese colonies of Korea, Taiwan, Manchukuo, and China. These sources soon dried up, especially in metropolitan Japan.[17] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs resisted further issuance of travel visas for Japanese prostitutes, feeling it tarnished the image of the Japanese Empire.[34] The military turned to acquiring comfort women outside mainland Japan, mostly from Korea and from occupied China. An existing system of licensed prostitution within Korea made it easy for Japan to recruit women in large numbers.[26]
Under the strain of the war effort, the military became unable to provide enough supplies to Japanese units; in response, the units made up the difference by demanding or looting supplies from the locals. The military often directly demanded that local leaders procure women for the brothels along the front lines, especially in the countryside where middlemen were rare. When the locals were considered hostile in China, Japanese soldiers carried out the "Three Alls Policy" ("kill all, burn all, loot all") which included indiscriminately kidnapping and raping local civilians.[39][40][41]
On May 12, 2007, journalist Taichiro Kajimura announced the discovery of 30 Dutch government documents submitted to the Tokyo tribunal as evidence of a forced mass prostitution incident in 1944 in Magelang.[43]
In 2014, China produced almost 90 documents from the archives of the Kwantung Army on the issue. According to China, the documents provide ironclad proof that the Japanese military forced Asian women to work in front-line brothels before and during World War II.[46]
In June 2014, more official documents were made public from the government of Japan's archives, documenting sexual violence and women forced into sexual slavery, committed by Imperial Japanese soldiers in French Indochina and Indonesia.[47]
A 2015 study examined archival data which was previously difficult to access, partly due to the China-Japan Joint Communiqu of 1972 in which the Chinese government agreed not to seek any restitution for wartime crimes and incidents. New documents discovered in China shed light on facilities inside comfort stations operated within a Japanese army compound, and the conditions of the Korean comfort women. Documents were discovered verifying the Japanese Army as the funding agency for purchasing some comfort women.
Su Zhiliang, a professor at Shanghai Normal University, examined the Japanese Kwantung Army's records in Manchuria (now Northeast China), which are housed at the Jilin Archives in China.[48] The operations of the Japanese Military Police, who were in charge of overseeing the "comfort stations" in various parts of China and Java, were the subject of these records.[48] Su concluded that the sources revealed that comfort women stations were ordered, supported, and managed by the Japanese military authorities.[48]
Documents were found in Shanghai that showed details of how the Japanese Army went about opening comfort stations for Japanese troops in occupied Shanghai. Documents included the Tianjin Municipal Archives from the archival files of the Japanese government and the Japanese police during the periods of the occupation in World War II. Municipal archives from Shanghai and Nanjing were also examined. One conclusion reached was that the relevant archives in Korea are distorted. A conclusion of the study was that the Japanese Imperial government and the colonial government in Korea tried to avoid recording the illegal mobilization of comfort women. It was concluded that they burned most of the records immediately before the surrender; however, the study confirmed that some documents and records survived.[49]
