The so-called comfort women included S. Korean women and Japanese women and many of them volunteered for the job because of economic conditions. Japan has paid and paid them but here we go again. There are very few of them still alive. The war ended 76 flipping years ago. (In 1965 Japan paid $5 Billion to the comfort women. That was in '65 when a billion was a lot of money.)

Timely. Now they ain't gotta pay them all.

Aside from everything else, wouldn't having them be paid for sex essentially turn them into prostitutes?
