The University of Miami's annual DIE IN, sponsored by UM's Amnesty International gathers all groups who support those who have suffered violations of human rights. Among the groups this day, were the women and men of Friends of Lolas, a group standing in solidarity with the 200,000 surviving "Comfort Women" of WWII, especially the grandmothers of Liga Ng Mga Lolang Piliipina -- M. Evelina Galang's beautiful Lolas of the Philippines. Here Galang sets up the women's stories, as students stand by to read testimonies from survivors.
When Japanese P.M. Abe said there wasn’t enough evidence to prove Japanese Imperial Armies coerced 200,000 women and girls into WWII rape camps, I wanted him to meet Liga ng mga Lolang Pilipina, the League of Filipina Grandmothers (LILA Pilipina).

FRIENDS OF LOLAS supports the mission of the women of LILA Pilipina and all “Comfort Women.” Read on.
