Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands Worldwide's English Service - a list of the new programs coming up on Radio Netherlands Worldwide this week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 27 FEBRUARY
*** The State We're In ***
Still waiting: Oksun Lee is now in her 80s and lives in Seoul, Korea. But when she was 15, she was kidnapped by the Japanese army and sent to China to become a sex slave, or "comfort woman". She tells Jonathan why she still wants a proper apology and what it would mean to her. Still waiting - Part 2: Oksun Lee tells Jonathan how she endured three years as a "comfort woman", sometimes servicing over 50 men a day: what kept her alive was picturing herself one day telling her story publicly.
Fighting to make history: In 2007, Japanese historian Hirofumi Hayashi uncovered official documents confirming that the Japanese government was directly involved in forcing women across Asia into sexual slavery. Until then, the government consistently denied responsibility. But political pressure has all but eclipsed the strides he and a handful of others have made in getting the story told.
Kidnap radio - Part 1: Annie Correal's father was kidnapped in Colombia by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. She recounts how a radio station in Colombia, Voces del Secuestro or Voices of Kidnapping, helped her communicate with her father.
Kidnap radio - Part 2: Annie Correal's father, Jaime, recalls how hearing his family's voices on the radio kept him alive through his ordeal. Annie speaks with other people who were able to talk to their kidnapped loved ones through Voces del Secuestro. Website: www.lasvocesdelsecuestro.com/ and www.transom.org/
