Welcome to the House of Sharing!

The House of Sharing is both a museum and home to former "Comfort Women" - victims of sexual slavery at the hands of the Japanese military during World War II.

 The House of Sharing is the world's first human rights museum with the theme of sexual slavery.  The museum opened on August 14th, 1998 to record these Japanese war crimes, to restore the honor of the victims and to function as a place of historical education.  Daedong Construction Inc. donated the buildings of the House of Sharing and citizens and organizations in Korea and Japan privately funded the museum. 

 The House of Sharing is helping the halmoni (respectful term for grandmother) push the Japanese government to submit to the seven demands of the halmoni.
